A                                  A7
My Old friend buried his Mama today
D
Told me ‘bout how he cried bloody tears
     A
and prayed
        E
As the preacher shouted life to believers
     D
The sermon pounded home to redeem us
        B7           E           A
That’s heavy brother - heavy as ten
  E
rocks


        A
When I heard the ice water waves
                      A7
crashin’ on the shore
           D
When that little baby sister say she
                       A
just can’t take it no more
          E
When the earth split open and we buried the man
    D
The man that died a demon with a two fisted hand
             B7           E
Well that’s heavy brother -  heavy as
 A   E
ten rocks
          A
When the tall green grass drowns
                   A7
underneath the rain
         D
When the memories come and your knees
                  A
buckle under the strain
         E
When the take-back man steals away your soul
        D
You’re longin’ in your pockets and you come up cold
        B7           E           A
That’s heavy brother - heavy as ten
E
rocks
      A
When sleep won’t come and eyes won’t
                   A7
close out the light
          D
When you ache for slumber and your eyes
                    A
won’t shut out the light
          E
When the compass leads still lost your way
D
Nothin’ left to lose but another day
        B7           E          A
That’s heavy brother - heavy as ten
E
rocks
     A
When God comes to greet us I’ll be
                       A7
waitin’ In at the door
         D
When He comes down to seek us I’ll meet
            A
Him at the door
          E
When the trial is over gonna go with the Lord
      D
And I won’t have to worry ‘bout my sins no more
            B7           E          A
And that’s heavy brother - heavy as ten
E
rocks
        B7           E          A
That’s heavy brother - heavy as ten
      E A
rocks
