Thy Burdens Are Greater Than Mine Chords by Hank Williams

_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] Traveling down _ _ a lonely highway.
_ _ I'm not [F] where _ the road would end.
_ _ _ _ Not a _ _ _ penny in my pocket.
_ _ _ All [G] alone _ without _ _ [C] a friend. _
_ _ _ In [G] a _ _ _ little country [C] village. _
_ I met a [F] little man, _ _ _ he was [C] blind. _
_ And as I _ helped _ him cross the highway. _
[F] Oh Lord, I cried his [C] burdens _ [G] are greater _ than mine. _ _ _
I can [F] see the light of day.
I [C] need not feel my way.
Yes, his burdens are [G]
greater than [C] mine. _ _ _
Met a [G] little _ lad _ while on my trail. _ _ _ _
[F] Trying hard to _ play [C] the _ game. _ _
Though his [B] _ leg [F] _ was [C] very _ crippled. _ _
And he [G] _ could _ _ not speak [C] his name.
_ _ _ Yet he [G] _ smiled _ in _
_ [C] understanding.
_ _ _ Though life [F] to _ him _ had been [C] unkind.
_ _ _ And as [F] I _ _ watched I cried [C] in sorrow.
Oh [F] Lord, I see his [C] burdens are [G] greater than [C] mine.
_ _ _ I can [F] speak my name aloud.
Make my [C] way among the crowd.
Yes, his burdens _ [G] are greater _ [C] than mine. _ _ _ _
Just by [G] _ chance _ _ I passed [C] a graveyard.
_ I _ saw [F] a young _ _ man _ [C] kneeling there. _ _ _
In [F] his _ _ _ hands there were [C] some rose. _ _ _ _
On [G] his lips _ _ there was [C] a prayer. _ _ _ _
On [G] a stone _ _ these words [C] were written.
_ _ _ Your soul [F] is God.
_ _ Your [C] memory mine. _ _ _
And as [F] I _ watched _ I [C] cried in sorrow.
[F] Oh Lord, I see his [C] burdens are [G] greater _ than _ [C] mine. _ _
