[G]I pulled into [Bm]Nazareth, I was [C]feelin' about half past [G]dead;

I just need some [Bm]place where [C]I can lay my [G]head.

"Hey, mister, can you [Bm]tell me where a [C]man might find a [G]bed?"

He just grinned and [Bm]shook my hand, and [C]"No!", was all he said.[G]

(Chorus)

[G]Take a [D]load off [C]Fannie, [G]take a [D]load for [C]free;

[G]Take a [D]load off [C]Fannie, [C]And (and) (and)

you can put the load right on me. [G - Bm - Em - D - C-C-C]

[G]I picked up my [Bm]bag, I went [C]lookin' for a place to [G]hide;

When I saw [Bm]Carmen and the Devil [C]walkin' side by [G]side.

I said, "Hey, [Bm]Carmen, come on, [C]let's go down[G]town."

She said, "I [Bm]gotta go, but m'[C]friend can stick [G]around."

[G]Go down, Miss [Bm]Moses, there's [C]nothin' you can [G]say

It's just ol' [Bm]Luke, and Luke's [C]waitin' on the Judgement [G]Day.

"Well, Luke, my [Bm]friend, what [C]about young Anna [G]Lee?"

He said, "Do me a [Bm]favor, son, woncha [C]stay an' keep Anna Lee

com[G]pany?"

[G]Crazy Chester [Bm]followed me, and he [C]caught me in the [G]fog.

He said, "I will [Bm]fix your rags, if [C]you'll take Jack, my [G]dog."

I said, "Wait a [Bm]minute, Chester, you know [C]I'm a peaceful [G]man."

He said, "That's [Bm]okay, boy, won't you [C]feed him when you [G]can."

[G]Catch a [Bm]Cannonball, now, t'[C]take me down the [G]line

My bag is [Bm]sinkin' low and I [C]do believe it's [G]time.

To get back to Miss [Bm]Fannie, you know [C]she's the only [G]one.

Who sent me [Bm]here with her re[C]gards for every[G]one
