(Verse)
I [G]pulled into N[Bm]azareth, I w[C]as feelin' about half pas[G]t dead
I[G] just need som[Bm]e place where [C]I can lay my h[G]ead.
"[G]Hey, mister, c[Bm]an you tell me [C]where a man might find a b[G]ed?"
H[G]e just grinned [Bm]and shook my han[C]d, and "No!", was all he [G]said.
(Chorus) Strum each chord down once (apart from C which is twice)
T[G]ake a [D/F#]load off Fan[C]nie, take a [C]load for free,
[G]Take a [D/F#]load off Fan[C]nie, And (and) (and) you can put the load
right on [G]me.[D/F#] [Em] [D] [C]
I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide;
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side.
I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, let's go downtown."
She said, "I gotta go, but m'friend can stick around."
(Chorus)
Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say
It's just ol' Luke, and Luke's waitin' on the Judgement Day.
"Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"
He said, "Do me a favor, son, woncha stay an' keep Anna Lee company?"
(Chorus)
Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog.
He said, "I will fix your rags, if you'll take Jack, my dog."
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man."
He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can."
(Chorus)
Catch a Cannonball, now, t'take me down the line
My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time.
To get back to Miss Annie, you know she's the only one.
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone.
(Chorus)
