Ain t It Heavy - Melissa Etheridge
Recorded by Melissa Etheridge. Words & lyrics by Melissa
Etheridge. From the album Never Enough. Produced by Melissa
Etheridge and Kevin McCormick.Transcribed by Bugsy (G Del
Fabbro)
Sometimes I know that it s never enough
Survival is fine but satisfaction is rough
I try with an angel tonight
Spread these wings and I m on for the ride
Cruise these streets where my innocence hides
There s some things you can t deny
What is it about this human condition
I need some kind of promise some kind
of submission tonight
CHORUS
Heavy
Ain t it heavy
Ain t the night heavy
//
I m feeling kinda loose I m feeling kinda mean
I ve been feeling kinda wild since I turned 17
Or is it madness
Tell me where can a woman find any kinda peace
When does the fury and the agony cease
How long have I got to say please
There s a hole in my jeans I only wanted to fade
I ve been riping out seams somebody else made tonight

The general strum pattern is d u d(muted) u u d and the
muted down strum can be replaced with the E6 on down
strum. This is also transcribed from Melissa s MTV
Unplugged performance so it s more acoustic than electric
and played slower than the album version.
