[Verse 1]
F#m7 E/G# Cadd9
Well, you're up all night
C#m7 G#m7
And your head's down low
F#m7 E/G# Cadd9
If you can see your own kite
C#m7 Bsus4
Shed a little light, oh Lord
F#m7 E/G# Cadd9
You know a burden ain't a bust
C#m7 G#m7
You are the only way to trust ya
A C#m7 Asus2 E
No no no, it's only fair it burns up in that rust
[Chorus]
Bsus4
Lay down, Martha
Cadd9 E
Lay down the holy banner flag
Bsus4
Hold out, Martha
Cadd9 E
Help is surely on its way
C#m7
And it's not right
Bm Cadd9 E/G# E
Don't bask in the glory of mine
F#m7 E/G# Cadd9 E/G# F#m7
But oh no, they can't come take that part away
[Verse 2]
Cadd9 E
They ate up all their cake
Cadd9 E
And they drank their own wine
F#m7 E/G# Cadd9
They were always on the take
C#m7 Bsus4
Will you shed a little light, oh Lord
F#m7 E/G# Cadd9
Well, you know the burden ain't a gust
C#m7 G#m7
The only path to love is touch
A C#m7 Asus2 E
I'll always know that all that proper mounts too much
[Chorus]
Bsus4
Lay down, Martha
Cadd9 E
Lay all that alabaster down
Bsus4
There's no master and
Cadd9 E
Help will surely come around
C#m7
I don't ask
Bm Cadd9 E/G# E
I don't bask in the glory, oh no (nah nah)
F#m7 E/G# Cadd9 E/G# F#m7
And it's up to me if I don't wear a mask
[Interlude]
Cadd9 E
Cadd9 E
[Outro]
F#m7 E/G# Cadd9
Well you're up all night
C#m7 G#m7
And your neighbors don't know
F#m7 E/G# Cadd9
Man, your neighbors don't know
C#m7 Bsus4
So shed a little light, oh Lord
F#m7 E/G# Cadd9
You know a burden ain't a bust
C#m7 G#m7
You know that truth's been known to crutch
A C#m7 Asus2 E
No no no, only them whose pauper lays him up
