Misc Originals – Alex Hensley - Heavy Load (Guitar)

          E               G                 D                  E
Well this man told me I’d be his son, and I didnt know what to do.

                           G                D                              E
Looked him in the eyes and shook his hand, Cause I've always been the only man.

  E                G                        D                        E
I Doubted he would last long, Just like the others he’ll be quick to stray.

         E          G                     G      G/F      E
Well the world is a heavy load, Without a dad to pave the road

        E                   G            D            E
Used to come back home from work, With a bottle and a stare.

        E        G                        D          E
I never dared to ask what’s wrong, But by 10 he was slurring his words.

    E                      G                             D                      E
The day came for to him to choose to change, He put that bottle down and put us first

          E          G                    G       G/F      E
Cause the world is a heavy load without a dad to pave the road

     E                      G                 D                E
Well now I'm gettin old and strong, but still learnin from him today.

   E                     G                    D                         E
He put this guitar right in my hands, Show my love through the things I play.

   E           G                         D                  E
I work hard to make some songs, To put a smile right on his face.

        E          G                    G      G/F      E
Ohh the world is a heavy load without a dad to pave the road

          E              G                  D              E
Well that old man is the best dad, a broken boy could ever receive.

      E                        G                     D                    E
Now I look him in the eyes and shake his hand, and I thank him for raisin me.

   E                  G                        D                   E
We talk about all the dreams I have, he said I know that you’ll be seen

         E          G                         G        G/F        E*
