Intro Am (4x) 

verse 1 
Am                  Dm                 Am 
Come on baby let me take your troubles away 
     Am                       Dm                     E 
Some mean old mama's got your head all in a horrible way 
          Am                  Dm 
Still for all your crying and all your pain 
                Am                              E 
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

verse 2 
Am                                     Dm                    Am 
I've heard you wake up crying from the evils lying under our bed 
                Am               Dm                              E 
You say there's no use trying to protect you from the danger and dread 
            Am                                    Dm 
Though this world is made of fearsome beasts that bark and bite 
        Am                                      E 
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 to-night 

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

verse 3 
Am                              Dm                         Am 
Lay down your burdens don't you let them drag you into the ground 
  Am                              Dm                         E 
I know you're hurting but there's plenty of your pain to go 'round 
     Am                           Dm 
Lord knows that everybody's got a cross to bear 
      Am                          E 
And I see no use in trying to con-trast and compare 
               Am                             E                              Am 
There's always someone being slaughtered by a bigger stack of splinters some-where 

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

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