C#m

A E B C#m

Intro:

A E

(verse)

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

I staggered and I stumbled down

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

A E

(chorus)

Down by the riverside (Down by the riverside)

I laid my burdens down,

C#m

Now I'm travelin' light

A E

My spirit lifted high (I found my freedom now)

I found my freedom now,

C#m

And I'm travelin' light

A E

(verse)

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

Now He's leading me to places

C#m

Where there are no tears

(Repeat chorus)
