Carry me (intro)

+ instrumental intro = CHORUS

C           F          G                          

1. There is an answer, some day we will know,

  C             F            G                     

and you will ask her, why she had to go.

Em        Am       Em                Am

We live and die, we laugh and we cry,

F                        C

and you must take away the pain,

F                      G                C

before you can begin to live again.

                C            F               C

So let it start, my friend let it start,

             F               C                      Dm - G

let the tears come rolling from the heart,

 E          Am      F               C        F

and when you need a light in the lonely nights,

- C            G                Am    - F

carry me like a fire in your heart,

- C            G                C

carry me like a fire in your heart. + F - C - F

C      F          G                          

2. There is a river rolling to the sea,

  C              F         G                     

you will be with her for all eternity.

Em   Am      Em     Am

But we that remain need you here again,

F                        C

so hold her in your memory,

F                  G       C

and begin to make the shadows disappear.

+ CHORUS + F + CHORUS, lines 1 & 2 as instrumental

+ repeat CHORUS, lines 1 & 2 as instrumental, ending in F - C
