I threw in another G chord that sounds better when the base comes in. It adds that  
heavier tone to the mix and I labeled it as G*. Technically you could stay on the  
original G chord, but I like to add in a more rounder sound. 



Intro: G 

verse 1: 
G 
Go on lay your troubles down, 
                  G* 
Set your feet on solid ground, 
Em 
Peace deep as I have found, 
C               G* 
I wanna follow you, 
G 
Come on all you weak and weary, 
                    G* 
Come 'round now if you can hear me, 
Em 
Poor, sick, and God-fearing, 
C               G* 
I wanna follow you, 
C                       G* 
I said, I wanna follow you, 


G 
Leave all your troubles, 
G* 
Leave all your sorrow, 
Em 
Set down your burden, 
C               G* 
Come on and follow, 
G 
Come on heavy laden, 
G* 
Don't wait for tomorrow, 
Em 
Come on my brother, 
C               G* 
Come on and follow, 


verse 2: 
G 
Go on leave your worries too, 
              G* 
Not a bit of good they do, 
Em 
There's a word that's coming through, 
C                       G* 
Go on leave your worry too, 

G 
So I call your name in the middle of the night, 
                        G* 
I want to know can you hear my cries, 
Em 
June heat and moonlight, 
C               G* 
I wanna follow you, 
C                       G* 
I said, I wanna follow you, 

Chorus 

Bridge: (Play G chord) 
Oh yeah, 
Set your burdens down, 
Set your burdens down, 
Set your burdens down, Yeah
