The Weight

A*   A*


[Verse 1]
A*             C#m             
 I pulled into Nazareth, I was 
D5                      A*
feelin' about half past dead.
A*                C#m         D5
 I just need some place where I 
           A*
can lay my head.
A*                    C#m        
"Hey, mister, can you tell me 
     D5               A*
where a man might find a bed?"
A*                   C#m         
 He just grinned and shook my 
        D5              A*
hand, and "No", was all he said.


[Chorus]
A       E        D
 Take a load off Fannie
A       E        D

[Verse 2]
A*              C#m          D5 
 I picked up my bags, I went 
                    A*
lookin' for a place to hide.
A*              C#m              
 When I saw ol' Carmen and the 
    D5              A*
Devil walkin' side by side.
A*           C#m          D5    
 Said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, 
           A*
let's go downtown."
A*            C#m              
 She said, "I gotta go, but my 
D5                A*
friend can stick around."

 Go down, Miss Moses, there ain't 
D6              A*
nothin' you can say.
A*             C#m              
 It's just ol' Luke, and Luke's 
D5                   A*
waitin' on Judgement Day.
A*               C#m           
 "Well, Luke, my friend, what 
D5              A*
about young Anna Lee?"
A*                 C#m           
 He said, "Do me a favor, son,

A*             C#m                
 Crazy Chester followed me, and he
 D5               A*
 caught me in the fog.
A*              C#m               
 He said, "I'll fix your rack, if 
D5                   A*
you'll take Jack, my dog."
A*                       C#m     
 I said, "Wait a minute, Chester,
          D5             A*
 you know I'm a peaceful man."
A*         C#m

 Catch a Cannonball, now take me

A*         C#m                D5
 My bag is sinkin' low, now I do
              A*
