[Intro] Am

[Primeira Parte]

Am                  Dm                  Am
Come on baby let me take your troubles away                                        
     Dm                                              E
Some mean old mama's got your head all in a horrible way
          Am                  
Still for all your crying and all your pain
                Dm 
You're just the sweetest little woman that I've seen in my day
        Am                    E                   Am
So come on pretty mama let me take your troubles away

( Am  Dm  Am  E )
( Am  Dm  Am  E  Am )

[Segunda Parte]

               Am                      Dm                    Am
I've heard you wake up crying from the evils lyin' under our bed
                Dm                                               E
You say there's no use trying to protect you from the danger and dread
            Am                  
Though this world is made of fearsome beasts that bark and bite
        Dm 
We were born to put these creatures through one hell of a fight
       Am                          E                        Am
May we feast upon the flesh of any fever that befalls you tonight

[Refrão]

Am                  Dm         Am
Soon her sides will split wide open 
Am                           E
We shall feast when darkness falls
Am             Dm       Am
Sing until our jaws are broken
Am                 E       Am
Heed the blackened water's call

[Terceira Parte]

Am                              Dm                         Am
Lay down your burdens don't you let them drag you into the ground
Dm                                                           E
I know you're hurtin' but there's plenty of your pain to go 'round
     Am                  
Lord knows that everybody's got a cross to bear
      Dm 
And I see no use in tryin' to contrast and compare
               Am                          
There's always someone being slaughtered 
     E                             Am
By a bigger stack of splinters somewhere

[Refrão]

Am              Dm       Am
If a day should break in anger
Am                       E
Patience weak and temper strong
Am           Dm       Am
Put our able hands to labor
Am                   E         Am
We will work through what went wrong

Am              Dm       Am
If a day should break in anger
Am                       E
Patience weak and temper strong
Am           Dm       Am
Put our able hands to labor
Am                   E         Am
We will work through what went wrong

Am            Dm        Am
La, da da da, da da da, da da da
Am                            E
La, da da da, la da da, la da da
Am            Dm        Am
La, da da da, da da da, da da da
Am            E       Am
La, da da da, da, da, da
