Carry Me

												
E           B  A                C#m     B
     When I was a young man, I found an old dream

    E               B         A                 C#m     B
     It was as battered and worn a one, as you have ever seen

    E            B             A                C#m     B
     I invented some new wings, and I painted a nose

    E             B               A     C#m   A
     I wished so hard, up in the air, I ro-o-ose, singing

    E            D       A            E
     Carry me, carry me, carry me, above the world

                 D       A            E
     Carry me, carry me, carry me

    E                 B      A            C#m     B
     And I once loved a girl, she was younger than me

    E             B
     Ber parents kept her locked, up in their lives

         A                  C#m          B
     And she was crying, she was wishing she could be free

    E             B
     Of course I mostly remember her laughing

    A                      C#m   B
     Standing there and watching us play

    E              B        A           C#m                 A
     For a while then, the music, would take her away and she'd be singing

    E            D       A             E
     Carry me, carry me, carry me, above this world

                 D       A            E
     Carry me, carry me, carry me, above the world

    E                B        A
     Then there was my mother, she was lying in white sheets there

                 C#m            B
     And she was waiting to die

    E                 B                   A
     She said if you just reach underneath this bed, and untie these weights

              C#m       B
     I could surely fly

    E            B
     She's still smiling but she's tired

    A               C#m           B
     She'd like to hear that last bell ring

    E            B          A       C#m        A
     You know if she still could she would, stand up, she would sing

    E            D       A            E
     Carry me, carry me, carry me, above the world

                 D       A       D       A       D       A       E
     Carry me, carry me, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, ooh
