An Encumbered SongI am overencumbered and that means I cannot roam,
Em/G/D/Em
And I’m halfway down a dungeon that’s a thousand miles from home,
C/G/G/D
I’ve picked one flower too many and my burden is too great,
Em/G/D/Em
And I’m finding the downsides of too much inventory weight.
C/D/Em/D/Em
I am a swift adventurer, through hill and marsh and cave,
G/D/Em/D/Em
Defeating dragons, vampires too, good people for to save,
Em/G/G/D
But now all of a sudden my quick feet they leaden grow,
C/Em/G/D
For I picked a bunch of flowers that caused my pack to overflow…
Em/G/G/D
I am a swift adventurer, through hill and marsh and cave,
Defeating dragons, vampires too, good people for to save,
But now all of a sudden my quick feet they leaden grow,
For I picked a bunch of flowers that caused my pack to overflow…
CHORUS:
I am overencumbered and that means I cannot roam,
And I’m halfway down a dungeon that’s a thousand miles from home,
I’ve picked one flower too many and my burden is too great,
And I’m finding the downsides of too much inventory weight.I don’t know where this weight is from, I really can’t recall,
For ninety potion bottles shouldn’t weigh that much at all,
Two dozen apples surely aren’t as heavy as all that,
And I made sure all the necromancers’ robes were folded flat,
CHORUS
I worked so hard for this dragonbone, I can’t leave that behind,
Nor the stack of magic tubers that I roamed the wilds to find,
I already dropped the broom I found, the clothes iron too is gone,
And I think I need these bear pelts for some quest that I am on.
CHORUS
What about an NPC, you ask? And you’d be right,
But she’s carrying, already, seventeen greatswords of light,
And a set of dwarven armour, and a few more things as well,
Like that box of forty dire wolf teeth I’m not sure where to sell.
CHORUS
Now you might think I should invest in stamina or pace,
But I need all of my skill points to throw fire in your face,
It’s a shame that summoned demons can’t pick up my bags, it’s true,
But I guess them being all on fire might char a thing or two
CHORUS
Now I guess that I could leave behind the goat’s cheese, wine, and bread,
But what’s the fun in dungeon crawls without a proper spread?
And yes, that’s why a tablecloth’s a useful thing to take,
Though we might need that barrow-wight’s old sword to cut the cake,
CHORUS
I guess I’ll eat some apples now, and ditch a book I’ve read,
To finally walk at normal speed into the room ahead,
I’ve half a point of free space and I’m once more running free,
But wait! I see a mushroom patch that’s just ahead of me…
CHORUS
