Artist: Hey Rosetta! Title: Carry me Home [Verse]
C      G
This hotel is cheap

C       G
And the pillows stink

Am                G
And there's not a single thing

Am          G
To say it's Christmas Eve

C        G
Oh Saint Nicholas

C        G
I know I ain't in your list

Am            G
But if you're listening 

Am       G
I need a bus ticket

C              G
I came through Montreal 

C        G
I lost a lot of dough

Am            G
Could find no honest job

Am            G
So I did some other ones

C        G
Got into trouble and

C        G
I had to run or suffer

Am         G
And then a long road

Am     G
Into a long December
[Instrumental] C G C Em C Cm Em Am C [Verse]
C        G
Over the water and

C        G
Over the border and

Am       G
Over the open land

Am         G
To this Ramada Inn 

C      G
No overbooking here

C          G
No sort of holy birth

Am     G
No miracles occurring

Am         G
No nodding creatures stirring

C        G
Oh Saint Stephen

C             G
Where is your feast when I

Am        G
When I so sorely need it

Am             G
When I've been hardly eating

C               G
But I'd give my food and drink

C         G
To see my home again

Am        G
To see my mother's hand

Am          G
Against her apron edge
[Chorus]
C  G
Oh

C  Em
Oh

C  Cm Em Am C
Oh (x2)
[Verse]
C        G
Oh Saint Christopher

C         G
Send me a Christian word

Am        G
Send me a southern wind

Am         G
Oh send me up to my kin

C        G
Hear the boys singing

C             G
Through their drunken grinning

Am        G
Oh Jesus, Joseph, Mary

Am           G
I hear their voices carry
[Chorus]
C            G
Carry me home

C   Em
Home

C   Cm Em Am C
Home (x2)
[Verse]
C       G
Can any saints hear me?

C            G
Is there any angel near me?

Am           G
If you won't lift me up

Am             G
Then would you send my love

C          G
Back to my home

C          G
Back to my only shelter

Am           G
Where in the awful weather

Am        G
I will be warm and welcome
[Chorus]
C              G 
Back to my home
