I pulled in to Na za reth, was (D)feel in’ ’bout half past (A)dead.

I just need some place where (D)I can lay my head.

“Hey, mis ter, can you (C#m)tell me where a (D)man might find a bed?”

He just grinned and (C#m)shook my hand; (D)“No” was all he said.

Take a (E)load off (D)Fan ny,

take a (E)load for free.

Take a (E)load off (D)Fan ny

and and and you put the load you put right the on load right me.

on me.
