Great song but unfortunately very short by J.J Cale Watch out for the main riff Am/G switching, it alternates a bit. You'll hear it. [Intro] (x2) Am Am G Am Am G Am Am [Verse]

      Am                     G             Am
If life`s little downs they keep coming around

         E        Am
Carry on, carry on

      Am                      G                   Am
With darkness all about, you want to scream and shout

         E        Am
Carry on, carry on

[Chorus]

Dm         Am     Dm                  Am 
Don`t cry baby, look at where you`ve been

Am           G    F                E
Everybody knows you just need a friend

Am                           G                   Am
Please, please, please, if you`re down on your knees

         E        Am
Carry on, carry on

[Interlude] Am Am G Am [Verse]

      Am                         G               Am
Your head is full of doubt, you can`t figure it out

         E        Am
Carry on, carry on

    Am                        G                 Am
Between the time it takes to make all those mistakes

         E        Am
Carry on, carry on

[Chorus]

Dm         Am     Dm             Am 
It don`t matter what you say or do

Am                G        F              E
It just seems to work out if you want it to

Am                      G                   Am
Let out all the slack, take it off your back

         E        Am
Carry on, carry on

Am                     G              Am
Let me bend your ear, never shed a tear

Carry on, carry on

         E        Am
Carry on, carry on

         E        Am
Carry on, carry on
