[Verse 1]
G#5 Fb5
Well, bartender's working on a late night shift
F#5 G#5
Cheap bums and blondes and barmaids on a midnight drift
G#5 Fb5
And the dance band's playing the same old sling
F#5 G#5
I'm sinkin' whiskey and you're sippin' fine wine
G#5 Fb5
I don't know what it is you're trying to prove
F#5 G#5
Well, it should be you, but it's me who can hardly move
G#5 Fb5
And I've got my reputation lyin' on the line
F#5 G#5
Come on baby, be a good dog and, and help the blind
[Chorus 1]
C#5
Oh, won't you carry me home?
G#5
Oh, to carry me home
C#5
Oh, to carry me home
D#5
Like a truck, pick me up
[Verse 2]
G#5 Fb5
You ain't no lady, but you sure got taste in men
F#5 G#5
That head of yours has got you by, time and time again
G#5 Fb5
My arms and legs are achin' and my head's about to blow
F#5 G#5
And your back's been breakin' and I'd hate to spoil the show
G#5 Fb5
But I just spent next week's wages and I'm right out of coin
F#5 G#5
But you want more and it's half past four, and they want to close the joint
G#5 Fb5
And we can't afford a taxi, and it's too late for the bus
F#5 G#5
But I've been told by friends of mine you're someone I can trust
[Chorus 2]
C#5
Carry me home
G#5
Oh, won't you carry me home
C#5
Carry me home
D#5
Don't leave me lying here, in all this beer!

[Verse 3]
G#5 Fb5
You drank all your booze and half of mine
F#5 G#5
I'm bleary eyed and you're waiting for the sunshine to come and kill me
G#5 Fb5
Just like the man who threw me on the floor
F#5 G#5
Don't matter, while I'm down here I might as well try and find the back end door
G#5 Fb5
"Excuse me, have you seen it?" "It's about this big"
F#5 G#5
"And have you got a plastic bag 'cause I'm gonna be sick"
G#5 Fb5
I'm dead drunk and heavin', hangin' upside down
F#5 N.C.
And you're gettin' up and leavin', you think I'm gonna drown
[Chorus 3]
C#5
Carry me home
G#5
Oh, won't you carry me home
C#5 D#5
Carry me home
C#5
Carry me home
G#5
Oh, won't you carry me home
C#5 D#5
Carry me home
