Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][C][G][D][C][D]

[Verse 1]
When I was a young [A]man
[G]
I found an [Bm]old dream[A][D]
Was as battered and [A]worn [G]a one

[Verse 2]
As you have ever seen
[D]
But I made [A]it some [G]new wings
And I painted a [Bm]nose[A][D]
And I wished so [A]hard
Up in the [G]air I [A]rose, [G]singing

[Verse 3]
[D]Carry me, carry me
Carry [C]me above the [D]world[G]
[D]Carry me, carry me, [C]carry me
[D]

[Verse 4]
And I once loved a [A]girl[G]
She was younger than me
[Bm][A][D]
Her parents kept [A]her locked up in their life
She was [G]crying at night
She was wishing she could
be [A]free[G][D]

[Verse 5]
'Course [A]mostly I remember
her laughing
[G]Standing there watching us [Bm]play[A][D]
For a while [A]there
The mu[G]sic would take her away

[Verse 6]
And she'd be singing
[D]Carry me, carry me
Carry [C]me [G]above this wor[D]ld[G]
[D]Carry me, carry me, ooh
[C]Carry [G]me above the world
[D]

[Verse 7]
And then there was my [A]mother[G]
She was lying in white sheets there
And she [Bm]was waiting to [A]die[D]

[Verse 8]
She said if you'd just [A]reach
Underneath this bed
[D]And untie[G] these weights
I [Bm]could surely [A]fly[G][D]

[Verse 9]
She's still smiling [A]but she's tired
[G]She'd like to hear tha[Bm]t last
bell [G]ring[D]
You know if she [A]still could she would
[G]Stand up she could sing

[Verse 10]
Singing [D]carry me, carry me
Carry [C]me [G]above [D]the world
Carry me, carry me, [G]carry [C]me[G]
[C][G][D]
