[Verse 1]
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
Well, you're up all night
Bm7 F#m7
And your head's down low
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
If you can see your own kite
Bm7 Asus4
Shed a little light, oh Lord
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
You know a burden ain't a bust
Bm7 F#m7
You are the only way to trust ya
G Bm7 Gsus2 D
No no no, it's only fair it burns up in that rust
[Chorus]
Asus4
Lay down, Martha
Cadd9 D
Lay down the holy banner flag
Asus4
Hold out, Martha
Cadd9 D
Help is surely on its way
Bm7
And it's not right
Am Cadd9 D/F# D
Don't bask in the glory of mine
Em7 D/F# Cadd9 D/F# Em7
But oh no, they can't come take that part away
[Verse 2]
Cadd9 D
They ate up all their cake
Cadd9 D
And they drank their own wine
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
They were always on the take
Bm7 Asus4
Will you shed a little light, oh Lord
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
Well, you know the burden ain't a gust
Bm7 F#m7
The only path to love is touch
G Bm7 Gsus2 D
I'll always know that all that proper mounts too much
[Chorus]
Asus4
Lay down, Martha
Cadd9 D
Lay all that alabaster down
Asus4
There's no master and
Cadd9 D
Help will surely come around
Bm7
I don't ask
Am Cadd9 D/F# D
I don't bask in the glory, oh no (nah nah)
Em7 D/F# Cadd9 D/F# Em7
And it's up to me if I don't wear a mask
[Interlude]

[Outro]
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
Well you're up all night
Bm7 F#m7
And your neighbors don't know
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
Man, your neighbors don't know
Bm7 Asus4
So shed a little light, oh Lord
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
You know a burden ain't a bust
Bm7 F#m7
You know that truth's been known to crutch
G Bm7 Gsus2 D
No no no, only them whose pauper lays him up
