[Verse 1]
Am7 G/B Cadd9
Well, you're up all night
Em7 Bm7
And your head's down low
Am7 G/B Cadd9
If you can see your own kite
Em7 Dsus4
Shed a little light, oh Lord
Am7 G/B Cadd9
You know a burden ain't a bust
Em7 Bm7
You are the only way to trust ya
C Em7 Csus2 G
No no no, it's only fair it burns up in that rust

[Chorus]
Dsus4
Lay down, Martha
Cadd9 G
Lay down the holy banner flag
Dsus4
Hold out, Martha
Cadd9 G
Help is surely on its way
Em7
And it's not right
Dm Cadd9 G/B G
Don't bask in the glory of mine
Am7 G/B Cadd9 G/B Am7
But oh no, they can't come take that part away

[Verse 2]
Cadd9 G
They ate up all their cake
Cadd9 G
And they drank their own wine
Am7 G/B Cadd9
They were always on the take
Em7 Dsus4
Will you shed a little light, oh Lord
Am7 G/B Cadd9
Well, you know the burden ain't a gust
Em7 Bm7
The only path to love is touch
C Em7 Csus2 G
I'll always know that all that proper mounts too much

[Chorus]
Dsus4
Lay down, Martha
Cadd9 G
Lay all that alabaster down
Dsus4
There's no master and
Cadd9 G
Help will surely come around
Em7
I don't ask
Dm Cadd9 G/B G
I don't bask in the glory, oh no (nah nah)
Am7 G/B Cadd9 G/B Am7
And it's up to me if I don't wear a mask

[Interlude]
Cadd9   G   Cadd9   G

[Outro]
Am7 G/B Cadd9
Well you're up all night
Em7 Bm7
And your neighbors don't know
Am7 G/B Cadd9
Man, your neighbors don't know
Em7 Dsus4
So shed a little light, oh Lord
Am7 G/B Cadd9
You know a burden ain't a bust
Em7 Bm7
You know that truth's been known to crutch
C Em7 Csus2 G
No no no, only them whose pauper lays him up
