Burden - Amos Lee
Mountains of Sorrow, Rivers of Song.
Capo 3rd Fret
A A7 D
I never meant to be a burden
A E
Oh I just worry more than I'd like to
A A7 D
I never meant to be a burden
A E7 A (C) A
Please forgive me if I've weighed on you
A E
For so long I have lived amongst the shadows
E A (C) A
Waiting for the sun to break on through
A A7 D
Oh it's time I cast my oars and head out on these shores
A E7 A (C) A
And find some place where I can start anew
A A7 D
I never meant to be a burden
A E
Oh I just worry more than I'd like to
A A7 D
I never meant to be a burden
A E7 A(C)G
Please forgive me if I've weighed on you
D
Oh forgive if I've weighed upon your back
A E7
It's so heavy already without me
D
Going ahead into this abyss and find my own way out of this
E E7
So you can walk ahead more easily
Interlude: A A7 D A E A A7 D A E7 A(C)G
A A7 D
I never meant to be a burden
A E
But you're the light that is guiding me through
A A7 D
I never meant to be a burden
A E7 A(C)G
Please forgive me if I've weighed on you
A E7 A(C)G
Please forgive me if I've weighed on you
A E7 A(C)G
Please forgive me if I've weighed on you
