I have been thinking lately about what to post and my fingers started playing The Weight and the little light-bulb goes off in my head. So I come here to post and low and behold, you have beat me to it by mere minutes! What the hell?

Ok it is not minutes, it is hours, I have to adjust the time zone on the website.

Great minds think alike! This is one of those songs I've been singing for longer than I can remember and I thought the refrain might make for a good opportunity for some easy harmonies. We'll see how it goes.

Here's a version with all the chords. I would have replaced the one above but don't know how to do it.
