Tom: A
A
Weighted down by possessions
B
Weighted down by the gun
D E D A
Waited down by the river for you to come
[Verse]
E
My darling, you're darning my action
A
Of when three months, I was gone
E
But whose socks were you darning, darling
A
While I been gone so long?
A
Weighted down by possessions
B
Weighted down by the gun
D E D A
Waited down by the river for you to come
E A
A best friend to your ear of true said I was guilty of sin
E A
Said my being gone was the best thing for you
A
But the truth, it all comes through for me and my kin
B D E D A
It wasn't the best thing for me but was the best for him
[Chorus]
A
Weighted down by decision
B
Weighted down by the gun
D E D A
Waited down by the river for you to come
A
Weighted down by possessions
B
Weighted down by the gun
D E D A
Waited down by the river for you to come
[Verse]
E A
While I sat there wondering, you thought that eyes were hid
E A
And I had the honor of watching everything you did
A
So now I come with words of pain to bring you news of life
B D E D A
If you can't find your woman, don't take another's wife
[Chorus]
A
Weighted down by possessions
B
Weighted down by the gun
D E D A
Waited down by the river for you to come
