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 woman that I've seen in my day
        Am                    E                  Am
So come on pretty mama let me take your troubles away

[Interlude]
Am Dm Am Em Am Dm Am Em

[Verse 2]
                                       Dm                    Am
I've heard you wake up crying from the evils lying 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 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

[Chorus]
Am               Dm
Sooner sides will spread wide open 
Am                            E
we shall feast when darkness falls
Am             Dm          Am
sing until our jaws are broken
                      E      Am
'neath the black and waters cold

[Verse 3]
                                Dm .                        Am     Dm
Lay down your burdens don't you let them drag you into the ground
                                                              E
I know you're hurting but there's plenty of your pain to go around
      Am  
Lord knows that everybody''s got a cross to bear
       Dm  
Don't see no use in trying to contrast and compare
               Am                              E                             Am
There's always someone being slaughtered by a bigger stack of splinters somewhere

[Chorus]
Am                 Dm      Am
If one day should break in anger
                         E
Patience we can temper strong
Am           D        Am
Put our able hands to labor
                      E          Am
We will work through what went wrong
Am                 Dm      Am
If one day should break in anger
                         E
Patience we can temper strong
Am           D        Am
Put our able hands to labor
                      E          Am
We will work through what went wrong
