Dr. Hook and The Medicine Show 1972 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carry_Me_Carrie D G D Dsus4
D         
Second Street and Broadway,

G
sitting in a door way;

D                     Dsus4 D
head held in his hands

E                 E7                A
Looked to all the world like he was praying

D
Foot wrapped in an old rag,

G
bottle in a brown bag;

D                     Dsus4 D
I saw him try to stand

E                E7                A
Then I heard the words that he was saying, yeah

        D               G                 D
He said come on Carrie, carry me a little farther

                                  A
Come on Carrie, carry me one more mile

  D
I don't know where it's leading to,

      G                       E
but I know I can make it if I lean on you

   D               G
So come on Carrie, carry me a little

D                  G
I carried you, now carry me a little

D               G                 D
Come on Carrie, carry me a little while

         D
Well, he struggled to his feet,

    G          
and staggered down the street;

       D                          Dsus4 D
to the window of the five-and-dime

   E         E7                       A
He stood and laughed a while at his reflection

    D                 
And then I heard him shoutin',

G
something about a mountain;

D                         E                     E7                A
he could surely climb, if she was only there to point the right direction
But she ain't no, no she ain't no
        D               G                 D
He said come on Carrie, carry me a little farther

                                  A
Come on Carrie, carry me one more mile

  D
I don't know where it's leading to,

      G                       E
but I know I can make it if I lean on you

   D               G
So come on Carrie, carry me a little

D                  G
I carried you, now carry me a little

D               G                 D
Come on Carrie, carry me a little while, yeah

      G         D         G         D
Carry me, carry me, carry me, carry me. . .
