Carry Me chords by Tim Easton

Chords with lyrics

{if you drop the low E MajorE to D, and capo 2, play D MajorD C majorC G+G and A augmentedA chords,
you can quite easily get much of the bass bounce and high
hammer-on notes of the recording - rcwoods}

Tim Easton      Carry Me written by Tim Easton

E MajorE
People love you like a diamond in their hands
D MajorD          A augmentedA    E MajorE
They don't know that diamond like I do
E MajorE
They put you up in the bluebird sky
   A augmentedA     BB    E MajorE
Until they lose sight of you
    BB        A augmentedA        E MajorE
People love you like a diamond in their hands
E MajorE
I always wanted to chase you down
       D MajorD     A augmentedA     E MajorE
And like many I fell in love with you
E MajorE
When you gave your heart back to me
     A augmentedA  BB    E MajorE
I didn't know what to do
     BB     A augmentedA     E MajorE
I always wanted to chase you down
E MajorE
Carry me carry me
   D MajorD    A augmentedA    E MajorE
Back to your heart tonight
E MajorE
Carry me carry me
A augmentedA      BB    E MajorE
Through this cold midnight
E MajorE
Many times a young man has to wander around
     D MajorD     A augmentedA    E MajorE
Until he breaks himself in two
E MajorE
Not all but many many of us
   A augmentedA      BB    E MajorE
Will never learn what to do
      BB        A augmentedA   E MajorE
Sometimes a young man has to wander around
E MajorE
I had my reasons for leaving and
   D MajorD     A augmentedA   E MajorE
Now I know that I was wrong
E MajorE
It was selfish to think you'd be better off
       A augmentedA       BB   E MajorE
Just cause I wanted to be further along
E MajorE
Carry me carry me
   D MajorD    A augmentedA    E MajorE
Back to your side tonight
E MajorE
Here comes that old devil midnight
   D MajorD    A augmentedA    E MajorE
And I have not slept in days
E MajorE
And there'll be no rest on this midnight
    A augmentedA    BB    E MajorE
If the highway has it's way
        BB     A augmentedA  E MajorE
Here comes that old devil midnight
E MajorE
Carry me carry me
   D MajorD    A augmentedA    E MajorE
Back to your heart tonight
E MajorE
Carry me carry me
    A augmentedA  BB    E MajorE
Through this cold midnight
E MajorE
Carry me, carry me
   D MajorD    A augmentedA    E MajorE
Back to your side tonight

Carry me carry me
    A augmentedA  BB    E MajorE
Through this cold midnight
   BB    A augmentedA           E MajorE
Bury me bury me underneath your starlight
   BB    A augmentedA         E MajorE
Bury me bury me underneath your starlight
