another in the "This is how I play it, guys" series 
you should really hear the original song to get the rhythms right 
 
{intro} 
D Em G   (3x)       
 
(When you play the D, you should hammer on the A on the 3rd string) 
 
{verse1} 
D                 Em       G 
Line of people to pass you by,  
       D                 Em        G 
Posing sympathy with its whitewash eyes 
D                     Em       G 
Ladies feigning their mourning cries 
        D                 Em       G 
And the men shaking hands 
 
{chorus} 
A       G 
Weigh   Away 
A   G 
Way away 
G       C 
All the pictures in your mind 
          G 
As you're passed the thousandth time 
           Em          G 
Thousandth photograph 
 
{verse2} 
D               Em    G 
Listen to sympathetic lies 
         D                    Em       G 
As their reasons change under mourning guise 
         D                  Em       G 
With the gentlemen feigning sorrowed sighs 
    D                   Em     G 
And drinking champagne 
 
{chorus} 
A     G 
Weigh Away 
A   G 
Way away  
G          C 
As all the people pass and pose 
         G 
You hold back the tears and hold 
      Em         G 
On to memories 
 
{verse3} 
D                       Em    G 
Small talk hangs like a dirty cloud 
       D                Em        G 
Saying nothing real but deafening loud 
   D                Em       G 
An urge to run away from the crowd 
    D               Em       G 
And mourn all alone 
D                 Em G 
Make a promise to no-one 
D                  Em        G 
Wondering if you'd been worthwhile 
D                  Em  G 
Turn away from the chatter 
        D             Em  G 
And the hungry smiles
