Lay My Burden Down
Alison Krauss

B (x2444x@1)    A (x02220@1)    EGonna (022100@1)lay my burden down

B (x2444x@1)  A (x02220@1)    ELay (022100@1)my body in the ground

C#sus2 C#m  D
Cold   clay against my skin

A (x02220@1)             EBut (022100@1)I don't care at all

B (x2444x@1)     A (x02220@1)      ECan't (022100@1)seem to find my piece of mind

B (x2444x@1)        A (x02220@1)   ESo (022100@1)with the earth I'll lay entwined

C#sus2 C#m  D
Six    feet underground

A (x02220@1)               EMy (022100@1)feet are warm and dry

Bsus4 (x24452@1)      BWhen (x2444x@1)I get to the other side

Bsus2 (x24422@1)          BI'll (x2444x@1)put your picture way up high

Bsus4 (x24452@1)        BBut (x2444x@1)I'm not coming back to you

Bsus2 (x24422@1)  Bm (x24432@1) B (x2444x@1)EIt's (022100@1)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 (x24452@1)         BWhen (x2444x@1)I touch my feet on the land

Bsus2 (x24422@1)            BI'll (x2444x@1)kiss your lips and take your hand

Bsus4 (x24452@1)          BBut (x2444x@1)you know I'm not here to stay

Bsus2    Bm
It's just too far

B (x2444x@1)               ADarling (x02220@1)can't you hear me cry

GMy (320003@1)bones are broke

BmMy (x24432@1)tongue is tied

D (xx0232@1)             AThe (x02220@1)moon is swaying back and forth

C (x32010@1)             B (x2444x@1)Against the navy sky

F#mIs (244222@1)all I can see

G (320003@1)               BmMy (x24432@1)body is trembling on my knees

D (xx0232@1)           AJust (x02220@1)have a little mercy on me

C (x32010@1)          B (x2444x@1)   ERun (022100@1)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
