[Verse]
E D A C#m                 
■ ■ ■ Pulled into Nazareth
                    D    A        
I was feelin' about half past dead
       C#m            
I just need some place
C#m7          D      A   
Where I could lay my head
C#m                       
Hey mister can you tell me
                  D      A  
Where a man might find a bed
        C#m                      
He just grinned and shook my hand
       D      A   
No was all he said


[Chorus]
       E        D    
Take a load off fanny
       E        D   
Take a load for free
     E          D    
Take a load off fanny
                              A  F#m7 D
And you put the load right on me ■    ■


[Verse]
A              C#m
I picked up my bag
       D                      A   
I went lookin' for a place to hide
           C#m   
When I saw Carmen
              D               Bm7 
And the devil walkin' side by side
A          C#m         D             A   
I said Hey Carmen come on lets go to town
           C#m             D                A     
She said I gotta go but my friend can stick around


[Chorus]
                D    
Take a load off fanny
A               D   
Take a load for free
A                    
Take a load off fanny
            D        E        A  E A
And you put the load right on me ■ ■

It's just ol' Luke
D                                  A  
And Luke's waitin' on the Judgment Day
                    C#m  D                   
Well Luke my friend what about young Anna Lee
   A                       
He ■ said do me a favor son
D                                A      
Won't you stay and keep Anna Lee company


[Chorus]

[Verse]
C#m7                     
Crazy Chester followed me
                 C#m    A  
And he caught me in the fog
        C#m                 
He said I will fix your rack
               D       A  
If you'll take Jack my dog
       C#m                  
I said wait a minute Chester
               D        A  
You know I'm a peaceful man
        C#m            
He said That's okay boy
                   D        A  
Won't you feed him when you can


[Chorus]
            E        D

[Verse]
        C#m            
Catch a cannon ball now
   D                A   
To take me down the line
          C#m7       
My bag is sinkin' low
    D                 A   
And I do believe it's time
                       C#m  
To get me back to Miss Fanny
         D              A  
You know she's the only one
C#m             
Who sent me here
     D              A       
With her regards to everyone


[Chorus]
                D    
Take a load off fanny

Take a load off fanny
