[Matty Boom]

i think you might be thinking of 'take a load off fanny...take a load for free...take a load off fanny...and put the load right on me'

it's called the weight by robbie robertson and the band if that's it

sorry if i'm wrong

[saleen]

thank god, I knew I had some word wrong!

[Matty Boom]

need a tab for it or somethin?

[saleen]

just had it stuck in my head, but if you have one you have in mind I would love to have it.

[Matty Boom]

i play it in G, i think the studio recording is in A if memory serves me correct...a lot of tabs don't mention the little lick i have at the end so i wouldn't know how to play that unless you capo on 2 and play it how i have, but just play it in G
