[A]
I poured [C#] into Natherland and [D] I was feeling about [A] half dead
Time [C#] to find a place [D] where I can lay [A] my head
Now mister can [C#] you tell me [D] where a man might [A] find a bed
You know he grinned [C#] and he shook my hand
Lord [A] Lord he said
Take a load [D] off my head
[A]
Take a load [D] for free
[A]
Take a [D] load off my head
And [A] put the load [D] right on [A] me
Put the load right on me
[D]
I [A]
picked up [C#] my bag
I [D] went a looking for a [A] place to hide
When I saw [C#m] Carmen and the devil [D] walking [A] side by side
I told them [C#m] hey Carmen
[D] Come on and lets shake it [A] downtown
And she told me [C#m] I gotta go
[D] But my friend can stick [A] around
Take a load [D] off my head

Go down [C#m] now Moses [D] there's nothing that you [A] can say
So [C#m] Luke and Luke is [D] waiting on a judgment [A] day
Hey Luke my [C#] friend what [D] about young Anna [A] Lane
Do me a [C#] favor son [D] won't you stay and keep me sadly [A] company
Take a load [D] off my head
[A] Take a load [D] for free

Take a load [D] off my head
And [A] put the load right on me

Crazy [C#] Chester followed me
[D]
And he caught me in [A] the fun
He said [C#m] I'll fix your rack if you [D] don't take Jack [A] my dog
I said wait [C#m] a minute Chester
[D]
I'm a [A] peaceful man
He said that's ok boy
He said I [D] won't just sit on [A] Chester whenever you get
Take a [D] load off my head

I'm gonna catch me a [C#m] cannonball now
And [D] take me on down [A] the line
You know my bag is [C#m] hanging up
[D] And I don't believe that [A] it's time
To get back to [C#m] Miss Fanny
You [D] know she's the [A] only one
And Fanny sent [C#m] me down here tonight
To help [D] me call for [A] everyone
Take a load [D] off my head
