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
