Remove Ads E B A C#m B When I was a young man, I found an old dream
E B A C#m B It was as battered and worn a one, as you have ever seen
E B A C#m B I invented some new wings, and I painted a nose
E B A C#m A I wished so hard, up in the air, I ro-o-ose, singing
E D A E Carry me, carry me, carry me, above the world
D A E Carry me, carry me, carry me
E B A C#m B And I once loved a girl, she was younger than me
E B Ber parents kept her locked, up in their lives
A C#m B And she was crying, she was wishing she could be free
E B Of course I mostly remember her laughing
A C#m B Standing there and watching us play
E B A C#m A For a while then, the music, would take her away and she'd be singing
E D A E Carry me, carry me, carry me, above this world
D A E Carry me, carry me, carry me, above the world
E B A Then there was my mother, she was lying in white sheets there
C#m B And she was waiting to die
E B A She said if you just reach underneath this bed, and untie these weights
C#m B I could surely fly
E B She's still smiling but she's tired
A C#m B She'd like to hear that last bell ring
E B A C#m A You know if she still could she would, stand up, she would sing
E D A E Carry me, carry me, carry me, above the world
D A D A D A E Carry me, carry me, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, oo-ooh, ooh
