Lay My Burden Down

Tom: E
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
