The Weight
(Robbie Robertson)
As recorded by The Band
From the album Music From Big Pink (1968)

[Verse 1]

A C#m D A
I pulled in to Nazareth, I was feeling about half past dead.
A C#m D A
I just need some place where I can lay my head.
A C#m D A
"Hey, Mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
A C#m D A
He just grinned, shook my hand, "No" was all he said.


[Chorus]

A E D
Take a load off, Fanny.
A E D
Take a load for free.
A E D
Take a load off, Fanny.
D A
And...And...And.you put the load right on me.

[Instrumental]

A E F#m E D
