Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

Really beautiful song from Alan Doyle's solo album "Boy On Bridge". This is a very
easy four-chord song.

-Standard Tuning-

-No Capo-

The chords are played as follows:
G: 320033
Cadd9: x32033
Em7: 022033
D: xx0232
*All verses and choruses are played the same

[Intro]
G, Cadd9, G, Cadd9

[Verse 1]
G Cadd9
Meet me at midnight
G Cadd9
When the kingdom's asleep
G Em7
And the guards of the palace
Cadd9 D
Have long been at ease

[Verse 2]
Once out the window
Follow my steps
Till us and our shadows
Are all that is left.

[Chorus]
Cadd9 G
And we'll lift off our armour
Em7 D
And let the moonlight steal in
Cadd9 G
Lay me down, lay me down
D Em7
Where the nightingales sing
Cadd9 G
Lay me down, lay me down
D G Cadd9 G Cadd9
Where the nightingales sing

[Verse 3]
Long past surrender
The bar sets the stage
With a single-star spotlight
Where the leads of the play

[Verse 4]
Our story's unscripted
In this secret show
We'll draw back the curtains
And see where it goes

[Chorus]
And let our hearts take their places
Let the night pull the strings
Lay me down, lay me down
Where the nightingales sing

[Instrumental]
G, Cadd9 (x3)
G, D
G, Cadd9, D
Em7, D, G, Cadd9
G, Cadd9 (x4)

[Verse 5]
Meet me at midnight
Same old sweet song
Tonight and tomorrow
And on and on

[Verse 6]
Stay with me, stay with me
Love serenade
As long as we stand
And the band wants to play

[Chorus]
And when the last waltz is over
And the next one begins
Lay me down, lay me down
Where the nightingales sing
Lay me down, lay me down
Where the nightingales sing
Lay me down, lay me down
Where the nightingales sing

[Outro]
G, Cadd9 (x4)

[End on G]
