[Printable version]

(INTRO: notes: A - B - A - B - C -)

(CHORUS:)
D                         G
Jesus takes my burdens away.
A                       D
   All the troubles of every day.
Bm               Em
   Every night, when I pray,
A                 G         D  -  -  -  /
   Jesus takes my burdens away.

(VERSE 1:)
                 G
In my life, I've had many cares.
A                          D
  Seems like troubles are always there.
                    G              A /
But I've found the dearest friend
                             (notes: A-B-C-)
He'll be with me ‘til the end!

(CHORUS)

(VERSE 2:)
                       G
I've learned a lesson well
A                    D
  Greater than any tongue can tell.
                                  G - - - A /
I don't have to carry burdens around
                                   (notes: A-B-C-)
I go to Jesus, and I lay them down!

(CHORUS)

(VERSE 3:)
                  G
We're only here, just a little while.
A                                     D
  Don't let troubles take away your smile.
                         G - - - A /
Jesus died for you long ago:
                                     (notes: A-B-C-)
The greatest love you could ever know!

(CHORUS)

B7                            E
   All the troubles of every day.
Cm             Fm
   Every night, when I pray,
B7                 A        E
   Jesus takes my burdens away.
