[Intro]
G Bm C G


[Verse 1]
G Bm C G
I pulled into Nazareth, I was feelin' about half past dead.
G Bm C G
I just need some place where I can lay my head.
G Bm C G
"Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
G Bm C G
He just grinned and shook my hand, and "No", was all he said.


[Chorus]
G D C G D C
Take a load off Fannie, take a load for free.
G D C
Take a load off Fannie, and.. and.. and..
G D Em D C
..you put the load right on me.


[Verse 2]
G Bm C G
I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide.
G Bm C G
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side.
G Bm C G
I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, let's go downtown."
G Bm C G
She said, "I gotta go, but m'friend can stick around."


[Chorus]
G D C G D C
Take a load off Fannie, take a load for free.
G D C
Take a load off Fannie, and.. and.. and..
G D Em D C
..you put the load right on me.


[Verse 3]
G Bm C G
Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say.
G Bm C G
It's just ol' Luke, and Luke's waitin' on the Judgement Day.
G Bm C G
"Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"
G Bm C G
He said, "Do me a favor, son, won't ya stay an' keep Anna Lee Company?"


[Chorus]
G D C G D C
Take a load off Fannie, take a load for free.

Take a load off Fannie, and.. and.. and..

Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog.
G Bm C G
He said, "I'll fix your rack, if you'll take Jack, my dog."
G Bm C G
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man."
G Bm C G
He said, "That's okay, just feed him when ya can."


[Chorus]
G D C G D C
Take a load off Fannie, take a load for free.
G D C
Take a load off Fannie, and.. and.. and..
G D Em D C
..you put the load right on me.

G Bm C G
Catch a Cannonball, now, take me down the line.
G Bm C G
My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time
G Bm C G
To get back to Miss Fannie, you know she's the only one
G Bm C G
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone.


[Chorus]
G D C G D C
Take a load off Fannie, take a load for free.
G D C
Take a load off Fannie, and.. and.. and..
G D Em D C
..you put the load right on me. woohoohoo...
