When I Lay My Burden Down

guitar tabs lyrics

Mississippi Fred McDowell

Although Mississippi Fred Mc Dowell and Fury Lewis (open G) both did a
version of this song This isn't exactly either of those. Closer to
MFMD's as it is in open D.

This is a "hammer" and not a "pinch". Except * the pulls are "pinches"

Glory glory, hallelujah,
Since I lay (laid) my burden down.
Glory glory, hallelujah,
Since I lay (laid) my burden down.

Every rung higher and higher
When I lay my burden down.
Every rung higher and higher
When I lay my burden down.

No more troubles over yonder,
When I lay my burden down.
No more troubles over yonder
When I lay my burden down.

Lord, I'm feeling so much better,
Since I lay (laid) my burden down.
Lord, I'm feeling so much better,
Since I lay (laid) my burden down.
