Heavy Load Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][A][Em]
[G][Em]

[Verse 1]
Woke up singing [Em]a dead
man's song
Smell of [Am]smoke [Em]rising in [G]the [Em]air
Ain't no need to worry,
'bout things gone wrong
Always something going wrong,

[Interlude 1]
somewhere
[Em][G][F#][Em]
[G][F#][A]
[Am]Woman left me high and dry

[Verse 2]
[G][A]
[Am]Like the [G]dust that's on my
[Em]face[Am]
[A]That's okay [Am]I'm moving on[G]
Moving [Gdim]on ain't no d[Em]isgrace

[Verse 3]
[Am]
I'm [A]gon' leave when the sun
[Em]goes down
[Am]Say good[A]bye to this lone[Em]some town[Am]
One more thing I can [G]leave
[Em]behind[B]
Don't look for me,
you ain't gonna [A]find me
[Am]Too many bridges, too

[Verse 4]
[G]
many [Am]roads
Too much [G]sky and too much
[Em]ground[E][Em][Am]
Life can be such a [G]heavy load
There just [Em]ain't no [Am]relief [Em]to be found
[G][F#]

[Verse 5]
[Am]
[A]Guess somewhere I lost [Am]my wa[G]y[Am]
Got caught [G]up in earthly [Em]things[Am][A]
Guess I forgot what [Am]brought me [G]here
Riding [F#]on an[F] angels' wings
[Em]

[Verse 6]
[Am]Too much trouble,
[Em]on my br[Am]ain[A]
Too many [Am]songs about [Em]the same
old [G]thing[Am]
Know you [A]just can[Am]'t si[G]ng
your blues [Em]away[B]
There's dues you know you're
gonna have to [A]pay
Too many [Am]bridges, too

[Verse 7]
[G]
many [Am]roads
Too much [G]sky and too much [Em]ground[A]
Life can [Am]be such a heavy l[G]oad
There just [Em]ain't [Am]no reli[Em]ef to be found

[Interlude 2]
[Am][Em][A][Am]
[A][Em][G][Em][G][A]
Keep on run[Am]ning [Em]and I

[Verse 8]
don't know [Am]why
I'll be running 'til the [Em]day I[A] die
Some[Am]where farther,
[A]dow[G]n that lin[Em]e[B]
Maybe I'll see you come
judgment [A]time
[Am]Walk a mile in [G]my shoes

[Verse 9]
[Em][Am]
Please don't [G]judge me
'til you [Em]do[G][Em][A]
[Am]I'll do my [G]be st not to judge [Em]you
Just [A]let me [Am]play [G]these heavy loa[Em]d[G]
[F#][Em][G]
[F#]blue[E]s
[Em]Woke up singing a dead man's song

[Verse 10]
Smell of smoke rising in the air
Don't know tomorrow where
[G]I'll [Em]be[G][Em]
When I'm gone [G]you can bury [Em]me[G]
Down [F#m]by the riv[F#dim]erside[Em][G]
Down by [F#]the rivers[F#dim]ide[E][Em][G]
Down [F#m]by the riv[F#dim]erside[Em][G]
Down [F#]by the ri[Am]verside[E][Em][G]
Down [F#]by the rivers[F]ide
