for this one, I put alot of emphasis on the bass notes
I havent spent years on it or anything but this is
how I think it might go:
CARRY ME AWAY- Concrete Blonde
Am Em C G Am
Today I went and bought myself a bottle
G Am
Like we used to do, reminded me of you.
Am Em C G Am
Today I saw a train roll by the river
G Am
Blowing off its steam, reminded me of me
G Am
That's when I threw the bottle in the river,
G Am G C Em
That's when I started running for the train.
Am Em C G Am
There's nothing that you need I cant deliver
G Am
Carry me away, carry me away
Am Em C G
Think it's seven or nine California time
Am G
He who said he(it) was a small one(world) was either a liar or a fool,
'cos its not true.
Am Em C G
And the promises we make are as easy to break
Am
As the plastic people on a wedding cake
G Am
So says you, to know I do.
For the next part, play G and Am like this:
(I saw him do it this way in concert)
G N.C. Am
E----------------------------------------------------0-------
B---------------------------1--1-1---1-1-1---1-1-1---1-------
G--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0----------2--2-2---2-2-2-0-2-2-2---2-------
D--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0----------2--2-2---2-2-2-2-2-2-2---2-------
A--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2----------0--0-0---0-0-0-3-0-0-0---0-------
E--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-----------------3---------------3---------
play the G and C bass notes with your ring finger
G N.C. Am
I hear you thinking
G N.C. Am G C Em
From far away
I just a-keep-on lyin' and cryin' and tryin' and drinkin'
I'm gonna carry me away, carry me away
If you think about me
From far away
I hope you find her with me or without me
carry me away, carry me away...etc..fade out
seeya,
eric
