The Weight  

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

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

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

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

------------------------------------------------
(Chorus)
       D       C      G      D         G
Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free;

       D        C                                                    G  
Take a load off Fanny, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.

G(F#bass)       Em       Em7       C
------------------------------------------------

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

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

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

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

(Chorus)

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

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

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

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


(Chorus)

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

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

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

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


(Chorus)

        Bm                  C                G      C      G
Catch a cannon ball now, to take me down the line

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

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

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


(Chorus)
