此歌是E调的,和弦进行为 IV, I, V, VIm, 即A E B #Cm, 注意它并不是由一级和弦开始的.
原曲弹奏时把变调夹夹在第四品,用C调指法弹奏,即 F C G Am, 在扫弦的过程中用了几个和弦外音.
F和弦不能用大横按,要用小横按再加上姆指按六弦一品.这是因为在第一小节第三拍后半拍用了三弦空弦,即F和弦的二级音.
在第一小节第四拍后半拍变成了C和弦,但这个C和弦的四弦是空弦,在第二小节的第一拍后半拍变成了正常的C和弦.
第三小节的G和弦第一拍有五弦的击弦动作,由空弦击到二品.
第三小节最后一拍为Am7,最后一小节为Am,Am7交替.

A E
Well I was doublin' over the load on my shoulders
Bsus4 C#m7
Was a weight I carried with me everyday
A E
Crossin' miles of frustrations and rivers a ragin'
Bsus4 C#m7
Pickin' up stones I found along the way
A E
I staggered and I stumbled down pathways of trouble
Bsus4 C#m7
I was haulin' those souvenirs of misery
A E
And with each step taken my back was breakin'
Bsus4 C#m7
'Til I found the One who took it all from me
Chorus:
A E
Down by the riverside
(Down by the riverside)
Bsus4
I laid my burdens down,
C#m7
Now I'm travelin' light
A E
My spirit lifted high
(I found my freedom now)
Bsus4
I found my freedom now
C#m7
And I'm travelin' light
A E Bsus4 C#m7 2X
A E
Through the darkest alleys and loneliest valleys
Bsus4 C#m7
I was draggin' those heavy chains of doubt and fear
A E
Then with the one word spoken the locks were broken
Bsus4 C#m7
Now He's leading me to places where there are no tears
REPEAT CHORUS
A E Bsus4 C#m7
Laid my burdens down, by the riverside
A E Bsus4 C#m7
Found my freedom now, now I’m traveling light
