INTRO is pretty simple D G D D and the song is in 4/4 time
[D] Second Street and Broadway, [G] sittin’ in a doorway
[D] Head held in his hands
[E]Looked to all the world, like he was [A] prayin’
[D] Foot wrapped in an old rag, [G] bottle in a brown bag
[D] I saw him try to stand
[E] Then I heard the words that he was [A] sayin’ ooh yeah
He said:
(chorus)
[D] Come on, Carrie, [G] carry me a little [D] farther
Come on, Carrie, carry me one more [A] mile
[D] I don’t know where it’s leading to
But I [G] know I can make it if I [E] leaned on you, so
[D] Come on, Carrie, [G] carry me a little
[D] I carried you, now [G] carry me a little
[D] Come on, Carrie, [G] carry me a little [D] while
(verse 2)
[D] Well he struggled to his feet, and [G] Staggered down the street
To the [D] window of a five and dime
[E] He stood and laughed a while at his re [A] flection
[D] Then I heard him shouting [G] something ‘bout a mountain
[D] He could surely climb
If [E] she was only there to point the right dir [A] ection
But she ain’t no, he said:
(chorus)
[D] Come on, Carrie, [G] carry me a little [D] farther
Come on, Carrie, carry me one more [A] mile
[D] I don’t know where it’s leading to
But I [G] know I can make it if I [E] leaned on you, so
[D] Come on, Carrie, [G] carry me a little
[D] I carried you, now [G] carry me a little
[D] Come on, Carrie, [G] carry me, a little [D] while
[G] Yeah Carry me, [D] Carrie, you got to carry [G] me
Carry me! [D] [G] Yeah! [D]
SOL RE SOL
[D] Ah, no! Carry me, [G] Carrie
[G] You got to carry [D] me (Carry me!)
Got to carry me [G] (C-C-C-Carrie)
Got to carry [D] me (I carried you)
Carry me, [G] Carrie (oh lonely me!)
Carry me [D] Carrie (Ah, yeah)
Got to [G] carry, got to carry, girl you got to carry [D] me!
