easy four-chord song.

-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]Meet me at mi[Cadd9]dnight
When the k[G]ingdom's as[Cadd9]leep
And the [G]guards of the p[Em7]alace
Have l[Cadd9]ong been at e[D]ase
[Verse 2]
Once out the window
Follow my steps
Till us and our shadows
Are all that is left.
[Chorus]
And we'll [Cadd9]lift off our ar[G]mour
And let the m[Em7]oonlight steal [D]in
Lay me d[Cadd9]own, lay me d[G]own
Where the [D]nightingales [Em7]sing
Lay me d[Cadd9]own, lay me d[G]own
Where the [D]nightingales s[G]ing[Cadd9][G][Cadd9]
[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]
