Carry Me Over Arlo Guthrie
words and music by Arlo Guthrie
There's a [G]tavern up on the roadside I must be [C]coming [D]into [G]town
The moon must be in Aries Because the [F]truck ain't slowing [D]down
[Am]Pulled back on the [C]throttle I've been doing [D]that all [G]day
Looking ahead for a right-hand turn To [C]carry [D]me a[G]way
There's [G]times for understanding It don't [C]seem like [D]one of [G]those
The times are too demanding When you're [F]hanging by your [D]nose
So why [Am]don't you just get [C]out of here And leave me [D]here to [G]pray
That one of these mornings the sun's going to rise And [C]carry [D]me aw[G]ay
CHORUS:
[G]Carry me [C]ove[D]r the [G]highway Carry me [C]ove[D]r the [G]sky
Carry me [C]over[D] the [Em]loneliness That I'm[C] feeling[D] here to[G]night
You know I'm feeling just like a riptide And I'm [C]feeling a [D]little [G]scared
A twisted maze of old highways No[F]body has rep[D]aired
It ain't [Am]nothing that can't be [C]handled Like an actor [D]in a [G]play
Who becomes enraged, jumps from the stage And [C]gets a little [D]carried a[G]way
Now all of your highways Don't mean [C]much to [D]me no [G]more
I've been on all of your highway roads Of [F]that you can be [D]sure
But I [Am]still get lost on a[C]ll of them roads I can't seem to [D]find my [G]way
I know there's one out there somewhere To [C]carry [D]me a[G]way
(CHORUS)
