[C#m] [F#m] [E] [D]
[A] I pulled into [C#m] Nazareth, [D] I was feeling about half [A]-assed dead
I just [C#m] needed to find a place [D] where I could lay [A] my head
Hey [C#m] mister, can you tell me [D] where a man might [A] find a bed?
He just [C#m] smiled and shook my hand, [D] and that was all [A] he said
Take a [D] load off, Banny, [A] take a [D] load for free
[Bm] [A] Take a [D] load off, Banny, and put the load right [A] on me

It's just [C#m] old Luke, Luke [D] he's waiting on a judgment [A] day
Well Luke my [C] [C#m] friend, [D] what a cloudy, long [A] anity
Oh, do me [C#] a favor son, [A] won't you [D] stay and keep [F] Anabee [A] company
