Carry Me

E                    B  A                C#m7     B
  When I was a young man, I found an old dream
E                     B         A                 C#m7     B
  Was as battered and worn a one, as you have ever seen
E                   B        A                    C#m7     B
  And I made it some new wings, and I painted the nose
E             B               A     C#m7   A
  I wished so hard, up in the air, I ro-o-ose, singing

E           C#m7       D     A            E
  Carry me, carry me, carry me, above the world
E           C#m7       D     A            E
  Carry me, carry me, carry me

E                  B      A                     C#m7     B
  And I once loved a girl, she was younger than me
E                      B
  Her parents kept her locked, up in their lives
B             A                           C#m7          B
  And she was crying, she was wishing she could be free
E                      B
  Of course I mostly remember her laughing
A                               C#m7   B
  Standing there and watching us play
E              B        A           C#m7                 A
  For a while then, the music, would take her away and she'd be singing

E           C#m7      D       A            E
  Carry me, carry me, carry me, above this world
E           C#m7      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
A             C#m7            B
  And she was waiting to die
E                                 B                     A
  She said if you just reach underneath this bed, and untie these weights
A         C#m7       B
  I could surely fly
E                               B
  She's still smiling but she's tired
A                        C#m7           B
  She'd like to hear that last bell ring
E                     B                   A       C#m7        A
  You know if she still could she would, stand up, she would sing

E          C#m7      D       A            E
  Carry me, carry me, carry me, above the world
E          C#m7      D       A       D       A       D       A       E
  Carry me, carry me, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, ooh
