A
Weighted down by possessions

A        E
Weighted down by the gun

E       D                A
Waited down by the river for you to come
[Verse]
A                    E
Whose socks were you darning, oh my darling

D                 A
While I was away, away for too long?

A                     E
I went away to see an old friend of mine

D                     A
Sister came over and knew she was out of her mind

A                                        E
She says Jesus has a twin who don't know nothing about sin

D                      A
She was half crazy and out of her mind
[Chorus]
A
Weighted down by possessions

A        E
Weighted down with a gun

E       D                 A
Waiting down by the river for you to come
[Verse]
A                           E
Her light eyes were dancing she is insane

D                                   A
Her brother says she's just a bitch on a golden chain

A
She keeps coming closer saying

E                          D                          A
I can feel it in my bones, schizophrenia is taking me home
[Chorus]
A
Weighted down by possessions

A            E
I’m Weighted down with my gun

E           D                 A
I’m waiting down by the river for you to come
[Outro] A E D A
