"Lay Down the Burden of Your Heart" is a beautifully crafted lullaby.  There is a finger 
picked beginning and bridge which I have not included.


C
It's a cold old world that we're walking thru
    G                       C
Lay down the burden of your heart
C
Bodies warm as toast walking two by two
    G                       C          F C
Lay down the burden of your heart

CHORUS
C
Lay down the burden of your heart
  G                 C
I know you'll never miss it
F                        C
Show your daddy where it hurts
    G              F    C     F C  
F C
And let your daddy kiss it

C
It's a fine fine line betwixt love and hate
     G                     C
It's tuff to tell the two apart
C
But you know it's love that I offer you
     G                      C        F C
Lay down the burden of your heart

CHORUS

C
It's a cold old world that we're walking thru
     G                          C
They ought to tell you from the start
C
But what strength I have girl I offer you
    G                       C        F C
Lay down the burden of your heart

CHORUS
