               E 
Old man went a looking, 
G             E 
Looking for a heart, 
            D                A 
To fill the hole next to his soul, 
         E 
Where to start. 
 

 
                    E 
He went down to the river, 
E               E 
Down by the evergreen, 
          D                           A 
Under the light of the most beautiful moon, 
          E 
He'd ever seen. 
 

 
               E 
Blinded by the light, 
   E             E 
He fell into the mud, 
                          D 
Turned his eyes up to the sky, he cried, 
   A  E 
Oh my love. 
 

 
               E 
He cried oh my love, 
      E        E 
All I taste is misery, 
             D 
When you're alone, 
       A             E 
Do you ever think of me. 
 

 
       C     D 
We all carry, 
              E 
A little dead weight, 
       C      D 
We all got ourselves, 
              E 
A little dead weight.

            E 
Down on his knees, 
   E                  E 
He prayed down on his knees, 
    D                A 
Out loud to the sky above, 
                 E 
Wont you help me please. 
 

 
                E 
Can you help me lord, 
E                E 
Listen to what I say, 
                Dsus2 
Wash this dirt along, 
         A             E 
Wont you wash my hurt away. 
 

 
       C     D 
We all carry, 
              E 
A little dead weight, 
       C      D 
We all got ourselves, 
              E 
A little dead weight.

            E 
So the sky above, 
E                 E 
Well it rained on down, 
D 
Pounded him, 
A                E 
Drove him to the ground. 
 

 
E                E 
Rust to dust and ashes, 
E              E 
Carried out to sea, 
                 Dsus2 
You never lay it down, 
          A              E 
You ain't never gonna be free. 
 

 
       C     D 
We all carry, 
              E 
A little dead weight, 
       C      D 
We all got ourselves, 
              E 
A little dead weight.  

       C     D 
We all carry, 
              E 
A little dead weight, 
       C      D 
We all got ourselves, 
              E 
A little dead weight.
