[F#m] [Em] [D]
[A] I pulled into [C#m] Nazareth, [D] feeling about half [A] past dead, just trying [C#m] to find a place [D] where
I can lay [A] my head.
Hey mister, [C#m] can you tell me [D] where a man might find a bed?
[A] He just [C#m] smiled and shook my hand, [D] I know was all [A] he said.
Take a [D] load off panic, you take a load for free, take a load off panic, and [A] put the on D.
[D]
[A] I picked up [C#] my bag, I [D] went to look at a place [A] to hide, then I saw a [C#m] road coming and the devil
[D] walking side [A] by side.
I said, [C#m] hey Carmen, [D] come on, let's go [A] downtown.
She said, [C#m] I gotta go, [D] but my friend can I [A] stick around?
Take a [D] load off panic, [A] you take a [D] load for free, take a load off panic, and put the [A] [A] on D.
[F#m] [D] [A] Go down [C#m] Miss Moses, [D] there's nothing that you [A] can't say.
It's just [C#] old Luke and Luke, [D] he's waiting on the judgment day.
[A] Well Luke, [C#m] my friend, [D] what about young [A] Annalie?
He said, do [C#m] me a favor son, [D] won't you stay in [A] Annalie's company?
I said, take a [D] load off panic, [A] you take a [D] load for free, [A] take a [D] load off panic, and
put the on D.
[F#m] [D]
[A] Crazy Chester [C#m] followed me, [D] and he caught me in [A] a fall.
He said, [C#m] I will fix you right, [D] if you take Jack [A] my dog.
I said, wait [C#m] a minute Chester, [D] you know I'm a peaceful [A] man.
He [C#m] said, that's okay, [D] just beat him [A] whenever you can.
Take a [D] load off panic, you take a load for free, take a load off panic, and put the on
[A] D.
[F#m] [D] Catch [A]
[F#m] [D] [A]
[C#m] a cannonball, [D] take it on down [A] the line.
My bag [C#m] is sinking low, [D] and I do believe [A] it's time to get back to [C#m] Miss Fanny.
You [D] know she's the only [A] one who [C#m] sends us here with [D] her records for [A] everyone.
Take a [D] load off panic, you take a load for free, [A] take a [D] load off panic, and put the on
D.
[A] [D] Put the load [A] on D.
