Travis - The Weight

i found the other version here on ug good , but it never used
a capo so here’s my version , made by studying live
performances of this fantastic version of a good song!

Gm Bm C zm#7
E | – – 3 – – – – 2 – – – – 0 – – – – 3 – – |
B | – – 3 – – – – 3 – – – – 1 – – – – 2 – – |
G | – – 0 – – – – 4 – – – – 0 – – – – 3 – – |
D | – – 0 – – – – 4 – – – – 2 – – – – 0 – – |
A | – – 2 – – – – 2 – – – – 3 – – – – 2 – – |
E | – – 3 – – – – 2 – – – – 3 – – – – 2 – – |

i believe theese are the only chords playing in the song .
in the intro part and after the “put the load right on me”
when it sounds like 5 chords , you get fooled by (
hugely underrated ) andy playin the tabs ; ) so there
youre only supposed to play Gm and C .

Gm Bm C Gm
i pulled into nazareth , was feelin’ ’bout half past dead
Gm Bm C Gm
i just need some place where i can lay my head
Gm Bm C Gm
“hey , mister , can you tell me where a man might find a bed?”
Gm Bm C Gm
he just grinned and shook my hand , and “no” was all he said

Gm zm#7 C
take a load off fanny
Gm zm#7 C
take a load for free
Gm zm#7 C
take a load off fanny

and ( and ) ( and ) you can put the load right on me

Gm , C ( finnish with two C hits , the rest Gm )

picked up my bag , went lookin’ for a place to hide
when i saw carmen and the devil walkin’ side by side
i said , “hey , carmen , come on , let’s go downtown”
she said , “i gotta go , but m’friend can stick around”

take a load off fanny
take a load for free
take a load off fanny
and ( and ) ( and ) you can put the load right on me

go down , miss moses , there’s nothin’ you can say
it’s just old luke , and luke’s waitin’ on the judgement day
“well luke , my friend , what about young anna lee?”
he said , “do me a favour , son , won’t you stay an’ keep anna lee company?”

take a load off fanny
take a load for free
take a load off fanny
and ( and ) ( and ) you can put the load right on me

crazy chester followed me , and he caught me in the fog
he said , “i will fix your rack , if you’ll take jack , my dog”
i said , “wait a minute , chester , i’m a peaceful man”
he said , “that’s ok , just feed him when you can”

take a load off fanny
take a load for free
take a load off fanny
and ( and ) ( and ) you can put the load right on me

catch a cannon ball now , to take me down the line
my bag is sinking low and i do believe it’s time
to get back to miss fanny , you know she’s the only one
who sent me here with her regards for everyone

take a load off fanny
take a load for free
take a load off fanny
and ( and ) ( and ) you can put the load right on me
