Edited 4/15 (the day of the album's release)! Changed the lyrics to the correct ones (as
weren't released when I posted the original version) and a typing error in the interlude.
Tuned a whole step down (DGCFAD)
Chords: Most of the weird names are really just a complicated way of saying
thirds with the open notes ringing, so don't let the names scare you. I hope I got the
right... if not, then the shapes still are.
Em(Dm): 022000
Em*(Dm): 07500x
G7m(F7m): x5400x
G7m9(F7m9): x9700x
Am(Gm): x02210
Gadd11(Fadd11): x2001x
C(Bb): x32010
G7m(F7m):x5403x
I put the chord names in standard tuning, with the pitch they sound in the D
tuning in parenthesis.
Intro (same as verses):
Em Em* G7m Em Em* Eb7m G7m9
Em Em* G7m Em Em* G7m
Each verse follows this progression:
Em Em* G7m
Come all you weary, with your heavy loads
Em Em* G7m G7m9
lay down your burdens, find rest for your souls
Em Em* G7m
’cause my yoke is easy, and my burden is kind;
Em Em* G7m Em
I’ll take yours upon me, and you can take mine.
Bridge: Em Em* Eb7m Em Em* G7m
(verse)
Come all you weary, who move through the earth,
Who've been spurned at fine restaurants and kicked out of church;
I’ve got a couple of loaves, so sit down at my feet;
lend me your ears and we'll break bread and eat.
Am Gadd11 C (the C actually starts on the start of "weary")
Come all you weary
Am Gadd11 C
Come gather ’round near me
G7m
find rest for your souls.
(Repeat Bridge)
(verse follows same chord progression as the last 2)
Come all you weary, you crippled, you lame,
I’ll help you along, you can lay down your canes,
We’ve got a long way to go, but we’ll travel as friends;
The light’s growing bright further up, further in
(same as first chorus)
Come all you weary
come gather ’round near me
find rest for your souls.
Interlude(I'll just write out the chord shapes for this part):

Repeat those chords, but with the xxx191917 chord only played once.
G7m
(Repeat Chorus 2 times)
