Song: Lay Down Your Kingdom Tab
"Lay Down Your Kingdom" (Words and music by David Olney)
(F#m)The truest (A)heart will not be (F#m)tempted
With bright (E)silver or shining (F#m)gold
(F#m)For all your (A)wealth she'd not speak (F#m)falsely
And all your (E)power cannot (F#m)hold
(A)Lay down your (E)kingdom, lay (F#m)down
(A)Lay down your (E)kingdom, lay (F#m)down
F#m A D F#m
F#m A D F#m
(F#m)Her face is (A)fair to those who (F#m)know her
The rest are (E)blind, they cannot (F#m)see
(F#m)And in her (A)eyes you see (F#m)forever
Endless (E)joy and (F#m)misery
(A)Lay down your (E)kingdom, lay (F#m)down
(A)Lay down your (E)kingdom, lay (F#m)down
F#m A D F#m
F#m A D F#m
(F#m)Some men (A)gamble for their (F#m)pleasure
Some men (E)gamble for their (F#m)need
(F#m)I will (A)gamble for her (F#m)favor
I will (E)gamble out of (F#m)need
(A)Lay down your (E)kingdom, lay (F#m)down
(A)Lay down your (E)kingdom, lay (F#m)down
F#m A F#m D F#m
F#m A F#m D F#m
F#m A D F#m
F#m A D F#m
(F#m)Here's to our (A)Lady of good (F#m)fortune
Deliever (E)me from an evil (F#m)hand
(F#m)Here's to the (A)one who plays (F#m)against me
Be he (E)spirit, be he (F#m)man
(A)Lay down your (E)kingdom, lay (F#m)down
(A)Lay down your (E)kingdom, lay (F#m)down
(A)Lay down your (E)kingdom, lay (F#m)down
(A)Lay down your (E)kingdom, lay (F#m)down
Playing notes: The best way to play this song is probably to put a capo on the
second fret and play in Em shape. David plays an ascending bass line from the
F#m chord up to the A chord, listen to recording for accurate timing.
