Joe Ligon - Heavy Load chords
Start Jamming...
[C#] Oh, [C#m] I had an [G] operation.
He fixed that for me.
He [C#] fixed that.
I've been happy for the past two days here in the midst of the greatest singers [C#] in the world.
I love to see people lift up their name sheets.
[C#m] It makes me sad.
If I've been lifted up, I [C#m]
know I'll feel it.
One more thing.
I want to sing a little bit of my song.
Sometimes we walk around with a load on our shoulders.
You don't have to walk around carrying a heavy load.
We forget sometimes.
Give it to Jesus.
[C#]
Give it to Jesus.
You can't handle it.
Turn it over.
Turn it over.
Let me just say a little bit of this.
Heavy load.
[Fm] Heavy load.
I'm not [A#m] happy no more.
[C#] Heavy load.

[A#m] Heavy load.
I'm not happy no [G#] more.

[C#] Somebody don't know what [C#m] I mean when I talk about a [F#] heavy load.
I'm talking about [C#] a heavy load [F#] of singing.
[G#] Somebody won't know it.
What I got to do is my heavy load.
[C#]
Down in the [F#] country, Alabama, [G#]
14 years old.
Something got a hold of me.
Something got a hold of me.
I told my neighbor, and revival meet [F#] one night.
You know what?
[C#] On the Thursday.
On [A#m] the Thursday.
I got to meet.

I stop by to tell my friend, [C#] my neighbor, you don't have to walk a line with that load on your shoulder.
All you got to do is get up, get it up, get it [C#m] up, get it up.
Jesus [C#] will take it.
He'll take it.
He'll make it.
A little light.
A little faith.
The path will come.
Brighter.
He's going to.
Jesus.
[G#]
My Lord. My Lord.
Come on, y'all.
God.
Heavy load.

He didn't cry.
He never cried.
If He was beautiful, beautiful.
If He was beautiful, beautiful.
Stand up.
Take the church gavel.
[G#]

is in you
I follow
since my father been gone I wait some time
to give you the heart
I don't worry

Jesus got my [C#m] back
Jesus got my back
Jesus got my back
Jesus got my back
Who's gonna see?
Who's gonna see?
