             D           Bm              G                       D
             Pulled into Nazareth, I was feeling 'bout half-past dead
             D      D/C#      Bm          G              D
             I just need some place where I could lay my head.
             D     D/C#            Bm              G                D
             "Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
             D       D/C#     Bm              G              D
             He just grinned, shook my hand. "No" was all he said.

             Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free.
             D      D/C#     D/B   D/A G                D
             Take a load off Fanny,      and...he put the load right on me.
             (Repeat Intro.)...

             I picked up my bags, I went looking for a place to hide,
             When I saw Carmen and the Devil walking side by side.
             I said "Hey, hey, Carmen, come on, let's go down town."
             She said "I gotta go, but my friend can stick around."

             Go down, miss Moses, ain't nothing you can say.
             It's just old Luke, and Luke's waiting on the Judgement day.
             "Well Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"
             He said "Do me a favour, son, won't you stay and keep Anna Lee
             company?"

             Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog.
             He said "I'll fix your rack if you'll take old Jack, my dog."
             I said "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man."
             He said "That's OK, boy, won't you feed him on whatever you
             can?"

             Catch a Cannonball, now take me down the line.
             My body's achin' lord, and I do believe it's time
             To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one
             Who sends me here with her regards for everyone.
