Old Man Markley - Running Weight

Intro - Dm (bass, harmonica, mandolin)

Dm
Driving 15 hours, push my body to the brink
                                                                     G
The only friend come with me is the coffee that I drink
Hope I don't find trouble, hope it goes real easy
Cause I ain't the kind for fighting, blood and guts, they make me queasy
    Dm            Dm(stop)
I'm paranoid

CHORUS
     Bb
I'm paranoid
When you're running this much weight
      Dm
you can't avoid (getting paranoid)<- 2nd and 3rd time only
          Bb
Getting paranoid
G                                                           Dm
Worries crash into me like an asteroid

              Dm
Driving deep into the woods, trees taller than the hills
                                                               G
Ain't no turning back now, on my mind are all those bills
I'm just the same as anyone, underneath that mighty sun
I've never been one for working, rather make another run?
    Dm           Dm(stop)
I'm paranoid

Chorus then Solo (verse chords)

            Dm
And now I'm filled up to the brim with that finest Northern green
                                                        Dm(stop)      G
And I'm starting down the road, heading back where I have been
One eye watching my top speed
The other looking round
Cause one flicker from the sirens 
And I'm surely prison bound
    Dm           Dm(stop)
I'm paranoid

CHORUS

            Bb                    G
I'm getting paranoid (I'm getting paranoid)
                    Dm                   Bb
A little bit paranoid (I'm getting paranoid)
G                     Dm
Paranoid (I'm getting paranoid)
        Bb                    G
Getting paranoid (no you just can't avoid)
              Dm Dm Dm
Getting pa-ra-noid
