[Verse 1]
  G                  C      G
I raised my head and set my sails
       C        G/B           Am7        G
In the eye of a storm, in the belly of a whale
   D               Em    C
My spirit stood on solid ground
     G     D               C      G
I'll be at peace when they lay me down
 
[Verse 2]
G            C        G
When I was a child, I cried
  C      G/B        Am7    G
Until my needs were satisfied
   D                    Em        C

I'll be at peace when they lay me down
 
[Chorus]
C
 When they lay me down someday
   G
My soul will rise, then fly away
D           Em               C
  This old world will turn around
     G     D               C      G
I'll be at peace when they lay me down
 
[Verse 3]
G               C        G
This life isn't fair, it seems
     C           G/B       Am7    G
It's filled with tears and broken dreams
      D                  Em   C
There are no tears where I am bound
         G     D               C      G
And I'll be at peace when they lay me down
