  Verses :

    G                     G/C                      C
    Sing to me sweetly as I turn sour, Lay Me Down remembering
     
    C                                   D            D/G  D   G      
    That the wind and the rain played a part in that dreadful hour.

    G                  G/C                             C
    And so as I pass I too feel the power, laying here under the trees

    C                         D           D/G D  G
    Where three days before I danced in a summer shower.

                    Em                    G                     D
      And she said there look through the trees, the sun always shines

             C9
      Always ontime.

      Em                 G              D                 C9
      There rest on your knees and in a prayer, follow me there.

       This is a beautiful song from a group from my hometown of
       Raleigh, NC. It is rumored to be about a young boy who
       fell while riding his bike and landed in a deep ditch. A big rain came
       and because he broke both of his legs, he could not get up from
       the ditch and so the young boy drowned.
