[Verse 1]
Am C
You run yourself ragged ‘til you’re black and blue
F C
Honey, can I take a few troubles from you?
Am C F Fmaj7
By the look in your eyes I’d say you’ve got a few to spare
Am C
Give me your famine and flood and your rumors of war
F C
Put down the paper and walk out the door
Am C F Fmaj7
Find yourself some shade and a warm patch of sun
[Chorus]
C Csus2
Honey, lay your head down
C Csus2
Honey, lay your head down
F Fmaj7
And I’ll take the weight of the world for awhile
F Fmaj7
I’ll take the weight of the world for awhile
[Post-Chorus]
| C | C Csus2 | C | C Csus2 |
[Verse 2]
Am C
I’ll feed the kids that are growing like weeds
F C
You search for honeysuckles in your bare feet
Am C F Fmaj7
And I’ll bring you a biscuit and coffee in an hour or two
Am C
Trouble never followed me to the back wood
F C
Or down by the creek, I think it’s understood
Am C F Fmaj7
There are places you can go where you can always be free
[Chorus]
C Csus2
Honey, lay your head down
C Csus2
Honey, lay your head down
F Fmaj7
And I’ll take the weight of the world for awhile
F Fmaj7
I’ll take the weight of the world for awhile
C Csus2
Honey, lay your head down
C Csus2
Honey, lay your head down
F Fmaj7
And I’ll take the weight of the world for awhile
F Fmaj7
I’ll take the weight of the world for awhile
[Post-Chorus]
| C | C Csus2 | C | C Csus2 |
[Verse 3]
Am C
When the shadows stretch long you can find home’s path
F C
I’ll light a candle and I’ll draw the bath
Am C F Fmaj7
You can wash the worries from your bones
Am C
When the water has cooled I will carry you to rest
F C
Lay your weary head upon my chest
Am C F Fmaj7
I’ll watch through the night no trouble comes your way
[Chorus]
C Csus2
Honey, lay your head down
C Csus2
Honey, lay your head down
F Fmaj7
And I’ll take the weight of the world for awhile
F Fmaj7
I’ll take the weight of the world for awhile
C Csus2
Honey, lay your head down
C Csus2
Honey, lay your head down
F Fmaj7
And I’ll take the weight of the world for awhile
F Fmaj7
I’ll take the weight of the world for awhile
C Csus2
Honey, lay your head down
C Csus2
Honey, lay your head down
F Fmaj7
And I’ll take the weight of the world for awhile
F Fmaj7 Csus2 C
I’ll take the weight of the world for awhile
