A                   C#m                 D                                   A

I pulled into Nazareth I was feelin 'bout half past dead

I just need a place where I could lay my head

Hey mister can you tell me where a man might find a bed

He just went and shook my hand and no was all he said

A           E           D          A         E            D

 Take a load off Fanny  Take a load for free

A          E            D         D

 Take a load off Fanny and,  

N.C                               A    E   F#m  E  D

 Put the load right on me

I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide

When I saw old Carmen and the devil walkin' side by side

I said "Hey Carmen, come on let's go down town"

She said "I gotta go but my friend can stick around"

Chorus

Go down miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say

It's just old Luke and, Luke's waitin' on the Judgement Day

Well Luke my friend, what about young Anna Lee?

He said "Do me a favor son, won't you stay & keep Anna Lee company"

Chorus

Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog

He said "I will fix your rack, if you take Jack my dog"

I said "Wait a minute Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man"

He said "That's okay boy, won't you feed him when you can"

Chorus

Catch a cannonball, now to take me down the line

My bag is sinking low, and I do believe it's time

To get back to Miss Fanny you know she's the only one

Who sent me here with her regards for everyone

Chorus
