Intro:    A E B C#m 

(Verse)              A                 E           
          Well I was doublin' over the load on my shoulders 
                B                        C#m 
          Was a weight I carried with me everyday 
                   A                         E   
          Crossin' miles of frustrations and rivers a ragin' 
          B                         C#m 
          Pickin' up stones I found along the way 


            A    
          I staggered and I stumbled down 
          E 
          Pathways of trouble 
                B                          C#m 
          I was haulin' those souvenirs of misery 
                   A                   E  
          And with each step takin' my back was breakin' 
           B                                      C#m 
          'Til found the One who took it all from me 

[Refrão]

              A          E 
          Down by the riverside (Down by the riverside) 
                    B 
          I laid my burdens down, 
                  C#m 
          Now I'm travelin' light 
                    A            E 
          My spirit lifted high (I found my freedom now) 
                     B 
          I found my freedom now, 
                  C#m 
          And I'm travelin' light 

(Verse)               A                  E 
          Through the darkest alleys and loneliest valleys 
                B                              C#m 
          I was draggin' those heavy chains of doubt and fear 
                    A                   E 
          Then with one word spoken the locks were broken 
                   B   
          Now He's leading me to places 
                             C#m 
          Where there are no tears 
      
(Repeat Chorus)
