The Weight

G

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

[Chorus]
G       D        C       G      
 Take a load off Fannie, take a 
D        C
load for free.
G       D        C       N.C.
 Take a load off Fannie, and.. and..
 and..
                            G  D  
..you put the load right on me.

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

[Chorus]

 Go down, Miss Moses, there's 
   C               G
nothin' you can say.
G              Bm               
 It's just ol' Luke, and Luke's 
C                        G

 "Well, Luke, my friend, what

G              Bm                 
 Crazy Chester followed me, and he
 C                G
 caught me in the fog.
G               Bm                
 He said, "I'll fix your rack, if 
C                    G
you'll take Jack, my dog."
G                        Bm      
 I said, "Wait a minute, Chester,
          C              G
 you know I'm a peaceful man."
G          Bm                C  
 He said, "That's okay, just 
              G
feed him when ya can."

G          Bm                C  
 My bag is sinkin' low and I do 
             G
believe it's time
G                    Bm          
 To get back to Miss Fannie, you
