Carry Me chords by Tim Easton

{if you drop the low E to D, and capo 2, play D C G and A 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
People love you like a diamond in their hands
D                    A       E
They don't know that diamond like I do
E
They put you up in the bluebird sky
      A         B        E
Until they lose sight of you
       B               A                E
People love you like a diamond in their hands
E

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

Carry me carry me
        A    B       E
Through this cold midnight
     B        A                      E
Bury me bury me underneath your starlight
     B        A                  E
Bury me bury me underneath your starlight
