Burden - Amos Lee
Mountains of Sorrow, Rivers of Song.
Capo 3rd Fret
E E7 A
I never meant to be a burden
E B
Oh I just worry more than I'd like to
E E7 A
I never meant to be a burden
E B7 E (C) E
Please forgive me if I've weighed on you
E B
For so long I have lived amongst the shadows
B E (C) E
Waiting for the sun to break on through
E E7 A
Oh it's time I cast my oars and head out on these shores
E B7 E (C) E
And find some place where I can start anew
E E7 A
I never meant to be a burden
E B
Oh I just worry more than I'd like to
E E7 A
I never meant to be a burden
E B7 E(C)G
Please forgive me if I've weighed on you
A
Oh forgive if I've weighed upon your back
E B7
It's so heavy already without me
A
Going ahead into this abyss and find my own way out of this
B B7
So you can walk ahead more easily
Interlude: E E7 A E B E E7 A E B7 E(C)G
E E7 A
I never meant to be a burden
E B
But you're the light that is guiding me through
E E7 A
I never meant to be a burden
E B7 E(C)G
Please forgive me if I've weighed on you
E B7 E(C)G
Please forgive me if I've weighed on you
E B7 E(C)G
Please forgive me if I've weighed on you
