[D]
Must be the matter
half [A]-assed dead
Just [C#m] bringin' me to a place
[D] Where I could lay [A] my head
Said, [C#m] mister, can you tell me
[D] Where a man might [A] find a bed
And I said, I'm not a man
He shook my hand, [C#m] rubbed my [D] face
Oh, that's [A] all he said
_ [D] Take a load off of me

_ [A] _ up my [C#m] bags
And [D] I went lookin' for a place to [A] hide
When [C#m] I saw Carmen and the devil
_ [D] Walkin' side by [A] side
I said, [C#m] hey Carmen
[D] Come on, let's go [A] downtown
She said, [C#m] I gotta go

[D] There's nothin' that [A] you can say
It's [C#m] just all new
[D] You need some break from [A] the church today _
[C#m] Well, you, my friend
[D] What about this [A] enemy _
[C#m] Said, you'll be favored by
[D] Forty-seven [A] King Adam, you come and
Take a load [D] off of [A] me

_ _ [A] _ [C#m] Jesse followed me
Then [D] he caught [A] me in the [F#m] pull
[A] He says, I'll [C#m] fix you right
[D] You'll take [A] Jack, my dog
I said, [C#m] wait a minute, Jester
[D] You know I'm a [A] peaceful man
We'll stick [C#m] together
[D] We'll just feed him [A] in your cage
[F#m] Take a [D] load off of me
