G F#
the days are piling up and i don’t know that i can take it
F Em
and freedom by design is so far gone i’ll never make
G F#
and everything’s so heavy that i think i want to leave it
F Em
and it’s weight that i don’t need i think it’s time that i relieved it

chorus :
Em B7 Em B7
heavy and i’m leavin’ , heavy and i’m gone
Em B7 Em
it’s heavy and i’m leavin’ here , so long

Em B7 Em B7
heavy and i’m leavin’ , heavy and i’m gone
Em B7 Em B7
it’s heavy and i’m leavin’ here , so long

well outside ain’t so good today it’s windy and it’s raining
and it’s been so bad so long that i can’t say i see it changing
the talk that i’ve been subject to seems mostly unrelated
and these blues have been allowed to run/Continue unabated

chorus
Em B7 Em B7
heavy and i’m leavin’ , heavy and i’m gone
Em B7 Em
it’s heavy and i’m leavin’ here , so long

Em B7 Em B7
heavy and i’m leavin’ , heavy and i’m gone
Em B7 Em B7
it’s heavy and i’m leavin’ here , so long

Am G Am
discouraged fingers with no follow through
Am G Am
no courage lingers like you want it to
Am G Am
discouraged fingers with no follow through
Am G Am
discouraged fingers with no love for you

well these hands have always been too slow in the past
reluctance greeted nearly every task
now my old heart tells me he wants it done fast
discouraged fingers they resist to the last

chorus
