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
