[Verse 1]
G             Bm
I pulled into Nazareth
      C                       G
I was feeling 'bout half past dead
                 Bm
I just needed to find a place
      C              G
Where I could lay my head
                Bm
Mister, can you tell me
        C                 G
Where a girl might find a bed
                 Bm
He just screamed shook my hand
C              G  C
No was all he said


[Chorus]
G               C
Take a load off Fanny
G               C
Take a load for free
G               C
Take a load off Fanny
And (and, and) you put the load 
         G D Em D C   G D Em D C
right on me


[Verse 2]
G              Bm
I picked up my bag
       C                      G
I went looking for a place to hide
           Bm
When I saw Carmen and the Devil
C               G   C
Walking side by side
G          Bm           C
I said Hey Carmen, come on
             G
Let's go downtown
