Chords for Amos Lee, Burden

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I never have too many capos, right? _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ Before _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [Gb] I went on stage, a very nice young lady, _
she [Bb] asked me,
Makeup. _ _ _
_ She said, [G] do you need [Cm] makeup?
I said, that's rhetorical, right?
So she did [G] some to me,
and she asked me to play this song.
And I was actually thinking about this song earlier today,
so it was kind of [Bb] funny that she asked.
_ [Fm] So [C] this song is a song on the new record, too.
And [Gb] it was written for my mom.
My mom is [Bb] the oldest.
She's eight.
And they all grew [Fm] up in Philly in a row [Gb] home together.
And [Bb] _ [G] she was a huge inspiration to me, too.
[Cm] And [N] just a song about my mom, and it's her birthday tomorrow.
The thing about my mom is,
_ [Db] you know, I guess I was talking to somebody [G] about the difference between men and women. _ _
The first thing that struck [Cm] me was grace.
[Db] And there's a [N] grace that a woman has that men deserve more than.
Like, y'all impart it into us, right?
Like, we have other things that are cool, but y'all [Bb] give us the grace.
And that's what she gave me.
Well, obviously not as much as I need, but [G] _
she's been working hard, you know?
[Db] _ But she loves people _ [G] so much.
[Fm] And this song is [Bb] about, _ _ she [G] lost one of her brothers [Bb] early on.
And now she [Gm] gives her heart to try to save a lot of people and give them love.
[G] So this song is from my mom [Gb] already.
It's her birthday, [N] so I don't know if she's watching.
