C
Many changes I have seen in the lands that I have been
     Am            F             C
I've learned to be patient in my time
C
And I've travelled far and wide, I've waited time and tide
     Am                   F               C
I've reached the mountain top and bent to climb

[Chorus]
G                           F        C
I've carried each burden as far as I can
G                             F          C
But change only comes when we all lend a hand

[Verse]
C
Never in all my years has a kind man to me appeared
Am    F                  C
X and contented with his gold
C
And the wealth that he adores leaves him broken lying on the floor
    Am              F                 C
Without a friend to keep him from the cold

[Chorus]
G                     F          C
Carry your burdens as far as you can
G                              F          C
But things only change when we all lend a hand

[Instrumental]

[Verse]
C
Many people I have seen, and I've struggled to believe
     Am                     F              C
That money can keep both sorrows from your door
C
But that wisdom old and wise xxanother's eyes
       Am                F                C
That's right through the heart and to the core

[Chorus]
G                     F          C
Carry your burdens as far as you can
G                             F          C
But change only comes when we all lend a hand
G                     F          C
Carry your burdens as far as you can
G                             F          C
But change only comes when we all lend a hand
