Chords for How to play, "The Weight" by "The Band" easy guitar how to tutorial

_ _ _ _ All right, I'm gonna give you guys a quick rendition of how I play the weight by the band on the key _ _ _ _ _ _
So I'll run through it once and then I'll break it down a little bit and show you a little more detail _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ I'll just need a [C#m] place [D] where I can lay my head _
_ [A] _ _ Hey, mr.
King [C#m] tell me [D] where man my final [A] bed _
_ _ You just smile [C#m] to show my [D] hand.
No, it's all the [A] same _
_ _ _ [E] Take a load [D] off _
_ _ _ Take it all _ _
_ _ [A] _ Take the load [D] off _
_ _ _ _ Hey _ _
_ _ Put the load I said you put the load right [A] on me I
[F#m] _
_ [E] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Picked up my [C#] bag.
[D] I went looking for a place [E] to hide
[N] Okay, so it repeats five times over or five or six verses.
It's a long song, but it's a good one
So the key, you know, I'm always big on the openings, right?
So let's nail this opening down
So this is this I'm gonna get a little bit closer
So this is these lead licks here coming in.
So I want I want you guys to fret the d7 [F#] chord _
_ _ _ Right down [Am] here _
Take your ring finger off of there _ _
And move [A] that up to the sixth fret _ _
_ So you hear it already, right?
So it's _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
You're gonna play that one more time.
So the formation is that d7 _
_ _ _ _ _ And then you're on the E string
_ _ [E] _ Back on the B string.
So [F#m] that's the first part _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ Now this one is a D chord different formation that we typically play your D again
You're going to use this [D] finger.
So this finger is free to do this
And [F#m] _ _ _ you're going to try to hit two strings so you're going to try to hit your G and your B string
_ _ _ _ [D] _ And then this one's a single note on [F#] the D string _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
[F#] _ _ [C#m] _ _ [A] _ That's it right [F#] there.
So it's on the D string
_ _ _ [C#] And you're hitting that note that C sharp
[A] _ And then back to the a and then the a chord I'm playing with one finger.
I'm holding down three strings _ _
these three
_ at the second fret _
_ _ It's hard to keep the E open E on this when you play with one finger, but practice it you'll get it
You kind of you got to get this funky little bend going in your finger _
So anyways, but that leaves you this
[F#m] _ _
And you use this all over and I've done this in a couple posts, but like
_ [F#] _ _ _ Jack [A] and Diane and there's a bunch of them right but so get this down _ _
so
_ _ keeps on the a _
_ _ drove in the
[C#] _ _
So it's a bar chord, but you don't have to hold them all down again
So the bar this bar chord is kind of like playing an a minor
[A] So if you're playing a minor here and you switch your fingers around
_ You're playing a minor.
So you go a minor a sharp [B] minor B minor [C] C minor [C#m] C sharp minor
_ _ so leave the E string open so
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ _ So _ _ _ _
_ _ [G#] You don't hit the [C#m] mute that he's that's nasty, right
[D] _ [A] So I drove in [C#] the Nazareth.
I [D] was feeling bad.
That's a D chord feeling bad a half [A]-assed a
_ I
Put that [D] little one.
You don't have to do that if you want feeling bad [A] a half-assed it, but what it is is
B string third [D] fret hit [A] it
_ Open it and [D] then hit [C#] it pull [F#m] off and then hit the G [D] string.
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ I just [C#m] need a place
_ [D] Where I can lay my head
_ so it repeats [G#m] that a few times and then [D] you get
_ [F#] _ _
Take a load off Annie.
So that part is an a chord.
That's a different chord
This is actually a G sharp chord, but we're gonna keep the egg exactly like it is
So again, we're using this one finger on the a if we're doing this we're kind of in trouble
But so because we're using one finger we got all these guys free so we can go take [G#m] a load
So all I'm doing I'm keeping that a exactly like it is and I'm putting a note on the G sharp on the E string
Which is the fourth fret?
[E] All right
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ [D] _ To D chord and [E] _ again
Take a love [D] free
_ _ _ [A] _ [G#] Take a load [D] off and he's so three times and then stay on the deep
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
You [A] put the load I said you put the load right on into the a
_ _ [G#] Again with the with the extra note on the fourth fret [F#m] and then an F sharp minor chord
_ [A] so
_ _ [G#] _ _ [F#m] _ _ So you're getting that walk [A] down?
_ _ [G#] _ [F#m] F sharp minor bar chord _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G#m] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ [E] _
_ to the open e
_ [D] _ _
to the D's so again, so [A] that's an a a
[G#] _ with a G sharp [F#] bass
[F#m] F sharp minor
[E] _ _
[D] D and _ _ _ that's it.
That's the [F] end of the song.
So
_ Yeah, what else is there?
Just get that [F#m] intro? _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ All right
_ When you're singing
_ Take a [D] load off Annie.
There's a couple ways to do to do the [D] end _ _ _
_ _ _ You put the load I said you put the load right on you can sing that it's actually the harmony voices
So this is good to get a crowd of people going but you can go
_ _ Hey _ _
Put the load I said you put [A] the load around me
_ [F#] You know anyways for the vocals all kinds of things you can do
This is another great party tune that you can play everybody likes to sing so it should go over really well get that
[F#m] _ I know I said it [N] three times now, but get that down and then people will know it and they'll jump right into the song
Right away.
It's a good lead in it's not that difficult to lead line if you work at it
So break it into sections kind of like what I cut it up as subscribe to my channel
I've got a bunch of [F] other videos.
I got some original material, but I have a bunch of
[F#] Tutorials on there too, and I'm starting to start to gain a [A#] little bit of momentum anyway, so help me out subscribe
I'm kind of new around here.
[B] So we'll go from there.
Thanks again.
