Lay My Burden Down
Alison Krauss

      B      A      E
Gonna lay my burden down

       B    A      E
Lay my body in the ground

C#sus2 C#m  D
Cold   clay against my skin

    A               E
But I don't care at all

              B       A        E
Can't seem to find my piece of mind

            B          A     E
So with the earth I'll lay entwined

C#sus2 C#m  D
Six    feet underground

   A                 E
My feet are warm and dry


     Bsus4        B
When I get to the other side

     Bsus2            B
I'll put your picture way up high

    Bsus4          B
But I'm not coming back to you

     Bsus2    Bm   B  E
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


     Bsus4           B
When I touch my feet on the land

     Bsus2              B
I'll kiss your lips and take your hand

    Bsus4            B
But you know I'm not here to stay

     Bsus2    Bm
It's just too far

B                 A
Darling can't you hear me cry

   G
My bones are broke

   Bm
My tongue is tied

    D               A
The moon is swaying back and forth

 C               B 
Against the navy sky

       F#m
Is all I can see

   G                 Bm
My body is trembling on my knees

     D             A
Just have a little mercy on me

C            B     E
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
