The Weight

G Bm C G
I pulled into Nazareth, I was feelin' about half past dead;

Bm C G
I just need some place where I can lay my head.

Bm C G
"Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"

Bm C G
He just grinned and shook my hand, and "No!", was all he said.

Chorus

G D C G D C
Take a load off Fannie, take a load for free;

G D C C
Take a load off Fannie, And (and) (and)

G - Bm - Em - D - C-C-C
you can put the load right on me.

G Bm C G
I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide;

Bm C G
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side.

Bm C G
I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, let's go downtown."

Bm C G
She said, "I gotta go, but m'friend can stick around."

G Bm C G
Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say

Bm C G
It's just ol' Luke, and Luke's waitin' on the Judgement Day.

Bm C G
"Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"

Bm C G
He said, "Do me a favor, son, woncha stay an' keep Anna Lee company?"

G Bm C G
Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog.

Bm C G
He said, "I will fix your rags, if you'll take Jack, my dog."

Bm C G
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man."

Bm C G
He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can."

G Bm C G
Catch a Cannonball, now, t'take me down the line

Bm C G
My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time.

Bm C G
To get back to Miss Fannie, you know she's the only one.

Bm C G
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone.
