Song

I have no idea what the other version of this tab is about, maybe there is more
than one version of the song. I sat down with the "Lonesome, On'ry and Mean" album
and came up with this. It's my first tab, but I think it at least will give you
the basic structure and chords of the song.
Artist: Waylon Jennings
Song: Lay Me Down
Verse:
Traveling down on different roads
Trying hard to leave the load
We take it there but we can't let go
It's so hard to lay it down 
    
Chorus:
Back in Eden we were tried 
Found ourselves disatisfied
Seeking wisdom that she denied
Trying hard to lay it down 
    
Lay it down brother,lay it down
It's so hard to lay it down 
    
Verse:
Hide in me,confide in me
Don't you think it's time to be
Everything we tried to be
You and me sould lay it down
    
Chorus:
Speak to me,be unashamed
There's no need in playing games
After all we're all the same
Just trying hard to lay it down
    
Lay it down brother,lay it down
It's so hard to lay it down
   
Verse:(A tone higher)
Wish my words could make it well
Wish that I could break the shell
Take us from our self-made hell
Find a way to lay it down 
Chorus:(A tone higher)
Burdened by the things i've learned 
Hurting because I'm too concerned 
Nonetheless I confess I yearn 
To find a way to lay it down 
    
Lay it down,lay it down
Wish that i could lay it down
