I am weary





A gorgeous old hymn made famous by the O Brother Where Art Thou film (click for youtube clip) and soundtrack. (By the way, click on the blue words and they take you somewhere else!) As sung by Raymond at the last Chicks Concert and Gympie Music Muster.


I AM WEARY (Let me rest)
D                G         D
Kiss me mother, Kiss your Darlin'
D                      A7
Lay my head upon your breast
             D     G      D
Throw your loving arms around me
      D     A7      D
I am weary let me rest

           A7                D
Seems the light is swiftly fading
           D                 A7
Brighter scenes they do now show
       G              D
I am standing by the river
         D      A7      D
Angels wait to take me home

          D    G         D
Kiss me mother kiss your darlin'
         D           A7
See the pain upon my brow
             D       G        D 
While i'll soon be with the angels
            D       A7      D
Fate has doomed my future now.

D            A7                    D
Through the years you've always loved me
        D                A7
And my life you tried to save
     G                  D
But now I shall slumber sweetly
      D          A7      D     
In a deep  and lonely grave

D               G        D
Kiss me mother kiss your darlin
        D             A7
Lay my head upon your breast
            D      G    D    
throw your loving arms around me
    
     D      A7    D
I am weary let me rest
     D      A7    D
I am weary let me rest.
