[Verse 1]
        A
Well, I used to walk stooped

          D
From the weight of my tears

      A                      E       A
But I just started laying my burdens down

  A                             D
I used to duck bullets from the rifle of fear

      A                      E       A
But I just started laying my burdens down
[Chorus]
A       D
Oh, I'm laying them down

Oh, I'm layin' 'em down

I just started laying my burdens down

The tree isn't nothing but the soul in me

  A#                     F       A#
I just started laying my burdens down
