Capo: 3 Tuning: G C E A

Capo 3 Strum pattern I use is: Bass Note - DU - Bass Note - UDU Chord changes are on bass notes. I play a low strung tenor and use G-string as my bass note regardless of the chord. If you don't want to break your fingers with the E chord, E7 sounds just fine too! [Intro] Am Am Am Am [Verse 1]

^AmCome on baby let me ^Dmtake your troubles ^Amaway Some ^Ammean old mama's got your ^Dmhead all in a horrible ^Eway Still for ^Amall your crying and ^Dmall your pain You're just the ^Amsweetest little woman that I've ^Eseen in my day So come ^Amon pretty mama let me ^Etake your troubles ^Amaway

[Chorus 1] (Whistled) Am Dm Am E Am Dm Am E Am [Verse 2]

^AmI've heard you wake up crying from the ^Dmevils lying under our ^Ambed You say there's ^Amno use trying to ^Dmprotect you from the danger and ^Edread Though this ^Amworld is made of fearsome beasts that ^Dmbark and bite We were ^Amborn to put these creatures through one ^Ehell of a fight May we ^Amfeast upon the flesh of any ^Efever that befalls you to-^Amnight

[Chorus 2]

^AmSooner sides will ^Dmspread wide open ^Amwe shall feast when ^Edarkness falls ^Amsing until our ^Dmjaws are broken ^Am'neath the black and ^Ewaters ^Amcold

[Verse 3]

^AmLay down your burdens don't you ^Dmlet them drag you into the ^Amground I ^Amknow you're hurting but there's ^Dmplenty of your pain to go '^Eround Lord ^Amknows that everybody's got a ^Dmcross to bear And I ^Amsee no use in trying to con-^Etrast and compare There's always ^Amsomeone being slaughtered by a ^Ebigger stack of splinters some-^Amwhere

[Chorus 3]

^AmIf a day should ^Dmbreak in anger ^AmPatience we can ^Etemper strong ^AmPut our able ^Dmhands to labor ^AmWe will work through ^Ewhat went ^Amwrong
