Lay My Burden Down by Alison Krauss
Submitted by hegemond

BB   A augmentedA   E MajorE
Gonna lay my burden down

BB  A augmentedA   E MajorE
Lay my body in the ground

C#sus2C#sus2 C# minorC#m D MajorD
Cold  clay against my skin

A augmentedA        E MajorE
But I don't care at all

BB    A augmentedA    E MajorE
Can't seem to find my piece of mind

BB     A augmentedA   E MajorE
So with the earth I'll lay entwined

C#sus2C#sus2 C# minorC#m D MajorD
Six  feet underground

A augmentedA         E MajorE
My feet are warm and dry

Bsus4Bsus4    BB
When I get to the other side

Bsus2Bsus2      BB
I'll put your picture way up high

Bsus4Bsus4     BB
But I'm not coming back to you

Bsus2Bsus2  B minorBm  BB E MajorE
It's just too far

If I was cast off on the sea
Would you come and look for me
Or would you just let me sink
Beneath the waves so blue

What if I had learned to fly
Fly all night till day drew nigh
Touch down upon a branch and
Scan the crowd for you

Bsus4Bsus4      BB
When I touch my feet on the land

Bsus2Bsus2       BB
I'll kiss your lips and take your hand

Bsus4Bsus4      BB
But you know I'm not here to stay

Bsus2Bsus2  B minorBm
It's just too far

BB         A augmentedA
Darling can't you hear me cry

G+G
My bones are broke

B minorBm
My tongue is tied

D MajorD        A augmentedA
The moon is swaying back and forth

C majorC        BB
Against the navy sky

F# minorF#m
Is all I can see

G+G         B minorBm
My body is trembling on my knees

D MajorD       A augmentedA
Just have a little mercy on me

C majorC      BB   E MajorE
Run away and hide

When I sleep the angels sing
But I cannot hear a thing
Eyes close
Dreaming of better days gone by

When I wake the trumpets play
And I'm standing at the gates
Fall down and joy
I know my race has just been won

When I was young my momma would say
Well life is hard, but that's OK
If you can make it through the day
It's not that far
No, it's not that far
