NOTE: As played on the recording, the E6 chord is played like a normal E chord (without
a capo, a G) but with
the second fret of the B string added, and Emaj7 is also played like a normal E chord
but with the fourth fret
of the B string added. Similarly, A6 is played like a normal A chord but with the second
fret of the high E
string being added, same as Amaj7 but instead with fourth fret of the high E string.
The Bsus4 chord is supposed to be played like the B5 but moving the fifth down a whole
step. The E at the
outro is played normally except with the fourth fret of the high E string added in.

E E6 Emaj7
[Verse 1]
E E6 Emaj7
Blue clouds twisted into a funnel
A
Somewhere far off the thunder roaring
E E6 Emaj7 B5 Bsus4 B5 Bsus4 B5 Bsus4 B5 Bsus4
And the fortune teller’s put her sleepy eyes on my child
E E6 Emaj7
Sometimes I climb right up a tree
A
Feel the wind blow in my face
E E6 Emaj7 B5 Bsus4 B5 Bsus4 B5 Bsus4 B5 Bsus4
Sometimes I leave my cares lying in piles
E E6 Emaj7
Somewhat disturbing
A A6 Amaj7
Is the sound of birds singing
E E6 Emaj7 A A6 Amaj7
When you know you don't deserve it
[Pre-Chorus]
A6
And you are not here today
E E6 B
And I feel just like an empty eggshell, and
[Chorus]
Amaj7
My yoke is heavy
E E6 B
My yoke is heavy
Amaj7 A
My yoke is heavy
[Verse 2]
E E6 Emaj7
My voice is a little horse
A A6 Amaj7
Galloping lost in the woods
E E6 Emaj7 A A6 Amaj7
Calling your name
E E6 Emaj7
It's new to me
A A6 Amaj7
But just the same
E E6 Emaj7
The earth is an old canvas
B5 Bsus4 B5 Bsus4 B5 Bsus4 B5
Painted over many times
E E6 Emaj7
And somewhat disturbing
A A6 Amaj7
Is the sound of birds singing
E E6 Emaj7
When you know you don't deserve it
A A6 Amaj7
Know you don’t deserve it
[Pre-Chorus]
Amaj7
And you are not here today
E E6 B/A
And I feel just like an empty eggshell, and
[Chorus]

My yoke is heavy

My yoke is heavy

My yoke is heavy

Oh
[Verse 3]
E E6 Emaj7
Sacred is the smile
A A6 Amaj7
That opened up my mind
E E6 Emaj7
That may at last please save me
A A6 Amaj7
And rid my cold, cold heart
E E6 Emaj7
And though the sun shines bright upon me now
A A6 Amaj7
And I am young and kicking
E E6 Emaj7
My yoke is heavy
A A6 Amaj7
My yoke is heavy
E E6 Emaj7 Amaj7 A7
My yoke is heavy
