capo 2 fret (standard tuning)
[Verse 1]
G D A
Well I was doubling over the load on my shoulders was a weight I
carried
Bm G D
with me everyday. Crossin' miles of frustrations and rivers a ragin',
A Bm
Picken up stones I found along the way.
G G
I staggered and I stumbled down pathways of trouble
A Bm
I was haulin' those souveniers of misery
G D
And with each step taken my back was breakin'
A Bm
Till I found the one who took it all from me.
[Chorus]
G D
A
Down by the riverside (down by the riverside) I laid my burdens down,
Bm
Now I'm travlin' light.
G D A Bm
My spirit lifted high I found my freedom now and I'm Travlin' light
[Verse 2]
G D
Through the darkest alleys and the lonliest vallys
A Bm
I was draggin' those heavy chains of doubt and fear
G G
Then with one word spoken the locks were broken
A Bm
Now He's leading me to places where there are no tears
