Lay My Burden Down

(início)

      B      A      E
Gonna lay my burden down
       B    A      E
Lay my body in the ground
C#sus2 C#m  D
Cold   clay against my skin
    A               E
But I don't care at all
              B       A        E
Can't seem to find my piece of mind
            B          A     E
So with the earth I'll lay entwined
C#sus2 C#m  D
Six    feet underground
   A                 E
My feet are warm and dry
     Bsus4        B
When I get to the other side
     Bsus2            B
I'll put your picture way up high
    Bsus4          B
But I'm not coming back to you
     Bsus2    Bm   B  E
It's just too far
If I was cast off on the sea
Would you come and look for me
Or would you just let me sink
Beneath the waves so blue
What if I had learned to fly
Fly all night till day drew nigh
Touch down upon a branch and
Scan the crowd for you
     Bsus4           B
When I touch my feet on the land
     Bsus2              B
I'll kiss your lips and take your hand
    Bsus4            B
But you know I'm not here to stay
     Bsus2    Bm
It's just too far
B                 A
Darling can't you hear me cry
   G
My bones are broke
   Bm
My tongue is tied
    D               A
The moon is swaying back and forth
 C               B
Against the navy sky
       F#m
Is all I can see
   G                 Bm
My body is trembling on my knees
     D             A
Just have a little mercy on me
C            B     E
Run away and hide
When I sleep the angels sing
But I cannot hear a thing
Eyes close
Dreaming of better days gone by
When I wake the trumpets play
And I'm standing at the gates
Fall down and joy
I know my race has just been won
When I was young my momma would say
Well life is hard, but that's OK
If you can make it through the day
It's not that far
No, it's not that far
