Judy Collins - The weight

I'm going down to the riverbank this ^Cmorning ^FWay before the ^Cfamily is a^Gwake Gonna ^Amlay me down at the foot of the ^Cwater And ^Fspill out all my ^Ctroubles for ^Geveryone's ^Amsake

You can't have love when you never can sur^Crender I've been ^Fspreading around my ^Canger like a ^Gplague I have ^Fsailed this far with my ^Dboat on fire Fighting ^Fflames each day, too ^Dstubborn to expi^Emre

^FI will soak my ^Amsoul Let the river take con^Gtrol The river take con^Dtrol And I ^Fknow it's not too ^Amlate To let go the ^Gweight To let go the ^Amweight

The sun will rise and shine on me this ^Cmorning It will ^Fseep its way ^Cinto my ^Gheart And un^Amtie all the knots that have ^Chardened me through the years And I'll ^Fembrace the ^Cwisdom that ^Gsun will im^Ampart

And with this heat burning in^Cside me I will ^Fwarm all the ^Cpeople that I ^Glove In their ^Fdarkest hours and the ^Dweakest of minds I'll ^Flight up their nights with every ^Dstar I can fin^Emd__

^FI will soak my ^Amsoul Let the river take con^Gtrol The river take con^Dtrol And I ^Fknow it's not too ^Amlate To let go the ^Gweight

Oh, ^FI will soak my ^Amsoul Let the river take con^Gtrol The river take con^Dtrol And I ^Fknow it's not too ^Amlate To let go the ^Gweight To let go the ^Amweight

^FOoh ooh ooh^Am, etc. ^FOoh ooh ooh^Am, etc. ^FOoh ooh ooh^Am, etc. ^FOoh ooh ooh^Am, etc.
