Well, I've got [G]emeralds and rubies [Em]sewn in[G]to my [C]gown
But I am [G]sadder than the [D]diamonds in my [G]crown"
CHORUS:
"So, will you [Em]lay me [D]down in a [C]fiddler's [G]cloud
And float me [C]out to [D]sea
Let my [G]aching head be still, let me sur[C]render to your will
Float me [G]out and de[D]liver me_[G]_"[C]
The [G]mighty king [C]came down to the [G]sea
Said, "I may win any [D]battle that I please

But there's a [G]songbird who [D]will not sing for [G]me"
CHORUS:
"So, will you [Em]lay me [D]down in a [C]fiddler's [G]cloud
And float me [C]out to [D]sea
Let my [G]aching head be still, let me sur[C]render to your will
Float me [G]out and de[D]liver me_[G]_"
BRIDGE:

The preacher's wife [C]knelt down by the [G]waves
And said, "For your love and [D]salvation I have prayed
I am a [G]tired tightrope dancer, I wanna [Em]go no [G]more this [C]way
Just give me [G]something, a [D]penny for m[G]y faith"
