Verse 1:
D5D5 Bb5Bb5
Well, bartender's working on a late night shift
C5C5 D5D5
Cheap bums and blondes and barmaids on a midnight drift
D5D5 Bb5Bb5
And the dance band's playing the same old sling
C5C5 D5D5
I'm sinkin' whiskey and you're sippin' fine wine
D5D5 Bb5Bb5
I don't know what it is you're trying to prove
C5C5 D5D5
Well, it should be you, but it's me who can hardly move
D5D5 Bb5Bb5
And I've got my reputation lyin' on the line
C5C5 D5D5
Come on baby, be a good dog and, and help the blind
Chorus 1:
G5G5
Oh, won't you carry me home?
D5D5
Oh, to carry me home
G5G5
Oh, to carry me home
A5A5
Like a truck, pick me up
Verse 2:
D5D5 Bb5Bb5
You ain't no lady, but you sure got taste in men
C5C5 D5D5
That head of yours has got you by, time and time again
D5D5 Bb5Bb5
My arms and legs are achin' and my head's about to blow
C5C5 D5D5
And your back's been breakin' and I'd hate to spoil the show
D5D5 Bb5Bb5
But I just spent next week's wages and I'm right out of coin
C5C5 D5D5
But you want more and it's half past four, and they want to close the joint
D5D5 Bb5Bb5
And we can't afford a taxi, and it's too late for the bus
C5C5 D5D5
But I've been told by friends of mine you're someone I can trust
Chorus 2:
G5G5
Carry me home
D5D5
Oh, won't you carry me home
G5G5
Carry me home
A5A5
Don't leave me lying here, in all this beer!

Verse 3:
D5D5 Bb5Bb5
You drank all your booze and half of mine
C5C5 D5D5
I'm bleary eyed and you're waiting for the sunshine to come and kill me
D5D5 Bb5Bb5
Just like the man who threw me on the floor
C5C5 D5D5
Don't matter, while I'm down here I might as well try and find the back end door
D5D5 Bb5Bb5
"Excuse me, have you seen it?" "It's about this big"
C5C5 D5D5
"And have you got a plastic bag 'cause I'm gonna be sick"
D5D5 Bb5Bb5
I'm dead drunk and heavin', hangin' upside down
C5C5 N.C.
And you're gettin' up and leavin', you think I'm gonna drown

G5G5
Carry me home

Carry me home
G5G5
Carry me home

Oh, won't you carry me home
G5G5 A5A5
Carry me home
