[Verse 1]
B5 G5
Well, bartender's working on a late night shift
A5 B5
Cheap bums and blondes and barmaids on a midnight drift
B5 G5
And the dance band's playing the same old sling
A5 B5
I'm sinkin' whiskey and you're sippin' fine wine
B5 G5
I don't know what it is you're trying to prove
A5 B5
Well, it should be you, but it's me who can hardly move
B5 G5
And I've got my reputation lyin' on the line
A5 B5
Come on baby, be a good dog and, and help the blind
[Chorus 1]
E5
Oh, won't you carry me home?
B5
Oh, to carry me home
E5
Oh, to carry me home
F#5
Like a truck, pick me up
[Verse 2]
B5 G5
You ain't no lady, but you sure got taste in men
A5 B5
That head of yours has got you by, time and time again
B5 G5
My arms and legs are achin' and my head's about to blow
A5 B5
And your back's been breakin' and I'd hate to spoil the show
B5 G5
But I just spent next week's wages and I'm right out of coin
A5 B5
But you want more and it's half past four, and they want to close the joint
B5 G5
And we can't afford a taxi, and it's too late for the bus
A5 B5
But I've been told by friends of mine you're someone I can trust
[Chorus 2]
E5
Carry me home
B5
Oh, won't you carry me home
E5
Carry me home
F#5
Don't leave me lying here, in all this beer!

[Verse 3]
B5 G5
You drank all your booze and half of mine
A5 B5
I'm bleary eyed and you're waiting for the sunshine to come and kill me
B5 G5
Just like the man who threw me on the floor
A5 B5
Don't matter, while I'm down here I might as well try and find the back end door
B5 G5
"Excuse me, have you seen it?" "It's about this big"
A5 B5
"And have you got a plastic bag 'cause I'm gonna be sick"
B5 G5
I'm dead drunk and heavin', hangin' upside down
A5 N.C.
And you're gettin' up and leavin', you think I'm gonna drown
[Chorus 3]
E5
Carry me home
B5
Oh, won't you carry me home
E5 F#5
Carry me home
E5
Carry me home
B5
Oh, won't you carry me home
E5 F#5
Carry me home
