Capo 2

verse 1 
G                            D                          A 
Well I was doubling over the load on my shoulders was a weight I  
carried 
        Bm                 G                         D  
with me everyday. Crossin' miles of frustrations and rivers a ragin', 
A                                  Bm 
Picken up stones I found along the way. 
G                               G  
I staggered and I stumbled down pathways of trouble 
      A                           Bm 
I was haulin' those souveniers of misery  
         G                  D 
And with each step taken my back was breakin'   
       A                                  Bm 
Till I found the one who took it all from me. 

Chorus 
G                              D      
        
A                                      
Down by the riverside (down by the riverside) I laid my burdens down, 
        Bm  
Now I'm travlin' light. 
          G          D           A                   Bm 
My spirit lifted high I found my freedom now and I'm Travlin' light 

verse 2 
            G                      D 
Through the darkest alleys and the lonliest vallys 
      A                              Bm 
I was draggin' those heavy chains of doubt and fear  
              G               G 
Then with one word spoken the locks were broken 
         A                                Bm 
Now He's leading me to places where there are no tears
