[Verse]
A             C#m           D   
I pulled into Nazareth, was 
                    A
feelin' about half past dead;
                 C#m         D    
I just need some place where I can
        A
 lay my head.
                      C#m          
"Hey, mister, can you tell me where
   D                A
 a man might find a bed?"
                    C#m            
He just grinned and shook my hand, 
     D                A
and "No!", was all he said.

[CHORUS]
A      E        D     A       
Take a load off Fanny, take a 
E        D
load for free;
A      E        D               
Take a load off Fanny, and (and)
 (and) you can put the load right on
 A
 me.

A              C#m         D    
I picked up my bag, I went 
                  A
lookin' for a place to hide;
           C#m            D   
When I saw Carmen and the Devil 
                  A
walkin' side by side.
              C#m          D      
I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, 
          A
let's go downtown."
           C#m               D    
She said, "I gotta go, but 
             A
m'friend can stick around."

Go down, Miss Moses, there's

It's just ol' Luke, and Luke's

waitin' on the Judgement Day.
                C#m           D   
"Well, Luke, my friend, what about
            A
 young Anna Lee?"
          C#m

Crazy Chester followed me, and he 
D                A
caught me in the fog.
                 C#m               
He said, "I will fix your rack, if 
D                    A
you'll take Jack, my dog."
         C#m                       
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, 
       D              A
you know I'm a peaceful man."
          C#m                    
He said, "That's okay, boy, won't

Catch a cannon ball now, t'take

My bag is sinkin' low and I do

believe it's time.
                    C#m            
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know

 she's the only one.
            C#m              D    
Who sent me here with her regards

for everyone.
