[Verse 1]
D#5 Cb5
Well, bartender's working on a late night shift
C#5 D#5
Cheap bums and blondes and barmaids on a midnight drift
D#5 Cb5
And the dance band's playing the same old sling
C#5 D#5
I'm sinkin' whiskey and you're sippin' fine wine
D#5 Cb5
I don't know what it is you're trying to prove
C#5 D#5
Well, it should be you, but it's me who can hardly move
D#5 Cb5
And I've got my reputation lyin' on the line
C#5 D#5
Come on baby, be a good dog and, and help the blind
[Chorus 1]
G#5
Oh, won't you carry me home?
D#5
Oh, to carry me home
G#5
Oh, to carry me home
A#5
Like a truck, pick me up
[Verse 2]
D#5 Cb5
You ain't no lady, but you sure got taste in men
C#5 D#5
That head of yours has got you by, time and time again
D#5 Cb5
My arms and legs are achin' and my head's about to blow
C#5 D#5
And your back's been breakin' and I'd hate to spoil the show
D#5 Cb5
But I just spent next week's wages and I'm right out of coin
C#5 D#5
But you want more and it's half past four, and they want to close the joint
D#5 Cb5
And we can't afford a taxi, and it's too late for the bus
C#5 D#5
But I've been told by friends of mine you're someone I can trust
[Chorus 2]
G#5
Carry me home
D#5
Oh, won't you carry me home
G#5
Carry me home
A#5
Don't leave me lying here, in all this beer!

[Verse 3]
D#5 Cb5
You drank all your booze and half of mine
C#5 D#5
I'm bleary eyed and you're waiting for the sunshine to come and kill me
D#5 Cb5
Just like the man who threw me on the floor
C#5 D#5
Don't matter, while I'm down here I might as well try and find the back end door
D#5 Cb5
"Excuse me, have you seen it?" "It's about this big"
C#5 D#5
"And have you got a plastic bag 'cause I'm gonna be sick"
D#5 Cb5
I'm dead drunk and heavin', hangin' upside down
C#5 N.C.
And you're gettin' up and leavin', you think I'm gonna drown
[Chorus 3]
G#5
Carry me home
D#5
Oh, won't you carry me home
G#5 A#5
Carry me home
G#5
Carry me home
D#5
Oh, won't you carry me home
G#5 A#5
Carry me home
