Chords with lyrics
Burden - Amos Lee
Mountains of Sorrow, Rivers of Song.
Capo 3rd Fret
G+G G7G7 C majorC
I never meant to be a burden
G+G D MajorD
Oh I just worry more than I'd like to
G+G G7G7 C majorC
I never meant to be a burden
G+G D7D7 G+G (C majorC) G+G
Please forgive me if I've weighed on you
G+G D MajorD
For so long I have lived amongst the shadows
D MajorD G+G (C majorC) G+G
Waiting for the sun to break on through
G+G G7G7 C majorC
Oh it's time I cast my oars and head out on these shores
G+G D7D7 G+G (C majorC) G+G
And find some place where I can start anew
G+G G7G7 C majorC
I never meant to be a burden
G+G D MajorD
Oh I just worry more than I'd like to
G+G G7G7 C majorC
I never meant to be a burden
G+G D7D7 G(C majorC)G
Please forgive me if I've weighed on you
C majorC
Oh forgive if I've weighed upon your back
G+G D7D7
It's so heavy already without me
C majorC
Going ahead into this abyss and find my own way out of this
D MajorD D7D7
So you can walk ahead more easily
Interlude: G+G G7G7 C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G G7G7 C majorC G+G D7D7 G(C majorC)G
G+G G7G7 C majorC
I never meant to be a burden
G+G D MajorD
But you're the light that is guiding me through
G+G G7G7 C majorC
I never meant to be a burden
G+G D7D7 G(C majorC)G
Please forgive me if I've weighed on you
G+G D7D7 G(C majorC)G
Please forgive me if I've weighed on you
G+G D7D7 G(C majorC)G
Please forgive me if I've weighed on you
