Eddie Kirkland and Brand New Shadows-Lay Your Weapons Down
Standard tuning
This is a rough sketch of the chords in the song. Some fancy chords will be listed in
their basic forms.
Capella
Verse 1:
It s been the coldest year I can remember,
and the leaves just started turning brown.
So when you see my white flag waving,
would you please lay your weapons down
Verse 2:
It s been the hardest battle in the camp-aign
-
And there s still no proof of gaining ground
So when my scars bloom like roses
Can we please lay the weapons down
Interlude:
-
Are we fighting for the same thi-ing
-
or are you just gonna wear me down
Cause I don t think I ll make it through the Winter
If you won t let me talk it out
Verse 3:
It s been the longest time I ve gone without you
-
And in moments I can part the clouds
I never thought my mind could be sober
But I ve learned to lay the lion do-wn
Interlude 2:
-
We ve been fighting for the same thi-ing
-
and you ve worn all my de-fenses out
I never would have made it to she-lter
If you hadn t broken me down
Capella
Verse 4:
It s been a year I d rather not remember,
but the memories where the answer s found
I know you see my white flag waving;
Would you please lay your weapons down
