Hank Williams – Thy Burdens Are Greater Than Mine (Guitar)

C         G7                C
Traveling down a lonely highway

           F                    C
I knew not where the road would end

      F           C
Not a penny in my pocket

     G7             C
All alone without a friend

     G7             C
In a little country village

        F              C
I met a man and he was blind

     F                    C
As I helped him cross the highway

   Am               C           G7           C
Oh Lord I cried his burdens are greater than mine

      F                      C
I can see the light of day I need not feel my way

                    G7           C
Yes thy burdens are greater than mine

      G7              C
Met a lad while on my travels

       F                C
Trying hard to play the game

       F                C
Though his leg was very crippled

       G7                  C
And he could not speak his name

       G7             C
Yet he smiled in understanding

            F               C
Though life to him had been unkind

         F                  C
And as I watched I cried in sorrow

   Am             C           G7           C
Oh Lord I see his burdens are greater than mine

      F                           C
I can speak my name aloud make my way among the crowd

                    G7           C
Yes his burdens are greater than mine

        G7                C
Just by chance I passed a graveyard

        F                  C
I saw a young man kneeling there

       F                    C
In his hand there were some roses

       G7               C
On his lips there was a prayer

     G7                     C
On a stone these words were written

             F                 C
Your soul is God's your memory mine

       F                    C
And as I watched I cried in sorrow

   Am             C           G7           C
Oh Lord I see his burdens are greater than mine
