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
(chorus) 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)
