DG
Second Street and Broadway, Sittin' in a doorway
DE
Head held in his hands, Looked to all the world
AD
Like he was prayin', Foot wrapped in old rag,
GD
Bottle in a brown bag, I saw him trying to stand
EA
Then I heard the words, that he was sayin' He said...
CHORUS:
DGD
Come on, Carrie, Carry me a little farther
DA
Come on, Carrie, Carry me one more mile.
D
I don't know where it's leadin' to, But I
GE
know I can make it if I lean on you,
DG
So come on, Carrie, Carry me a little
DGD
I carried you, now carry me a little, (Pause) Come on,
GDGDG
Carrie, carry me a little while.
DG
Well he struggled to his feet, And staggered down the street
DEA
To the window of a five and dime, He stood and laughed a while at his reflection.
DG
And then I heard him shoutin', Something 'bout a mountain
DDE
He could surely climb, If she was only there
A
To point to right direction., But she ain't, no, but she ain't, no....
-Repeat Chorus-
