The Weight

• A

BlackByrd Did a Wonderful Job on the Intro.   
I thought I'd post the chords to go with it. 
 
VERSE 1 
A             C#m            D                      E 
I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' about half past dead; 
A             C#m            D             E 
I just need some place where I can lay my head. 
A         C#m                 D                       E  
"Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?" 
A              C#m                      D                E 
He just grinned and shook my hand, and "No!", was all he said. 

A       E       D      A      E        D   
Take a load off Annie, take a load for free; 
A       E       D     D NC             
Take a load off Annie, And you put the load right on me. 
 
VERSE 2 
I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide; 
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side. 
I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, let's go downtown." 
She said, "I gotta go, but m'friend can stick around." 
 
Chorus 
 
Third Verse 
Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say 
It's just ol' Luke, and Luke's waitin' on the Judgement Day. 
"Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?" 
He said, "Do me a favor, son, woncha stay an' keep Anna Lee company?" 
 
(Chorus) 
 
VERSE 4 
Catch a cannon ball now, to take me down the line 
My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time. 
To get back to Miss Annie, you know she's the only one. 
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone.
