Song: Overburdened
Album: Ten Thousand Fists
Capo 3
Intro: F Am F Am
(Fate, Fate is so unkind, now I should have known
Blind leading the blind, reaping what I?ve sown
If it all amounts to nothing, why, why am I standing in this line?)
[Am]
[Am] [G] [E]
[Am]Hell is still overburdened, I must stand and wait in line
I may never know for certain [G]when will be my [E]time
[Am]How was I considered evil, pleasures taken in this life
Someone granted me reprieval, [G]decades spent in s[E]trife
Led to [F]nothing, r[E]epeated in my mind
Led to [F]nothing, if[E] only I was born another time
Chorus:
[Am]Hell is [G]still overburdened[Am], I must[G] stand and wait in line
[Am]Hell is [G]still overburdened,[F] how have I bee[G]n so determine[Am]d malign
[Am]
[Am] [G] [E]
[Am]It?s the closing of the curtain, in the play that was my life
Countless chapters left unopened, [G]tragedies in[E]side
[Am]I was fighting for a reason, holy blessed homicide
Seems I have committed treason, [G]all I?ve sacr[E]ificed
Led to [F]nothing, r[E]epeated in my mind
Led to [F]nothing, if[E] only I was born another time
Chorus x2
[Am]
Fate is [Dm]so unkind,[E] now I [Bb]should have known[G]
Blind le[Dm]ading the blind[E], reaping [Bb]what I?ve sown[C]
If it [Dm]all amounts to [E]nothing, [Bb]why then am I [G]standing in this [Dm]line?
