THE WEIGHT THE BAND
Capo 3rd fret for "Last Waltz" version
G Bm C (Am7) G I pulled into Nazareth, just feelin' 'bout half past dead Just lookin' to find a place where I could lay my head Mister can you tell me where a man might find a bed He just grinned and shook my hand, and 'no' was all he said
Chorus G D C G D C So take a load off Fanny, take a load for free G D C C (stop) G Take a load off Fanny, and ...... You put the load right on me
..G Bm Em D C-C-C
I picked up my bags and went lookin' for a place to hide When I spied old Carmen and the devil, walkin' side by side I said "Hey, Carmen, come on won't you go down town" And she said "I gotta go, but my friend can stick around"
Chorus
Go down Moses, there's nothin' that you can say It's just old Luke, and Luke is waitin' on the Judgement Day Hey Luke, my friend, what about young Annalie? He said "Do me a favour, son, wont you stay & keep Annalie company"
Chorus
Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog He said "I will fix your rack, if you take old Jack, my dog" I said "Wait a minute Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man" He said "That's okay boy, you just feed him when you can"
Chorus
Catch a Cannonball, to take me down the line Cos my bag is sinking low, and I do believe it's time To get back to miss Fanny you know she's the only one She sent me here with her regards for everyone *****************************************************************************************
