Lay Down The Burden Of Your Heart

Jesse Winchester


Tom: C

C
It's a cold old world that we're walking thru
G                           C
Lay down the burden of your heart
C
But it's warm as toast walking two by two
    G                       C          C F C
Lay down the burden of your heart

[Chorus]
C            F              C
Lay down the burden of your heart
G                   C
I know you'll never miss it
F                       C
Show your daddy where it hurts
      
    G              C    C F C   C F C 
And let your daddy kiss it


[Verse]
C
It's a fine fine line betwixt love and hate
G                           C
It's tuff to tell the two apart
C
But you know it's love that I offer you
    G                       C        C F C
Lay down the burden of your heart

[Chorus]
C            F              C
Lay down the burden of your heart
G                   C
I know you'll never miss it
F                       C
Show your daddy where it hurts
      
    G              C    C F C   C F C 
And let your daddy kiss it


[Verse]
C
It's a cold old world that we're walking thru
G                               C
They ought to tell you from the start
C
But what strength I have girl I offer you
    G                       C       C  F C
Lay down the burden of your heart

[Chorus]
C            F              C
Lay down the burden of your heart
G                   C
I know you'll never miss it
F                       C
Show your daddy where it hurts
      
    G              C    C F C   C F C 
And let your daddy kiss it
