[Verse 1]
G5 Eb5
Well, bartender's working on a late night shift
F5 G5
Cheap bums and blondes and barmaids on a midnight drift
G5 Eb5
And the dance band's playing the same old sling
F5 G5
I'm sinkin' whiskey and you're sippin' fine wine
G5 Eb5
I don't know what it is you're trying to prove
F5 G5
Well, it should be you, but it's me who can hardly move
G5 Eb5
And I've got my reputation lyin' on the line
F5 G5
Come on baby, be a good dog and, and help the blind
[Chorus 1]
C5
Oh, won't you carry me home?
G5
Oh, to carry me home
C5
Oh, to carry me home
D5
Like a truck, pick me up
[Verse 2]
G5 Eb5
You ain't no lady, but you sure got taste in men
F5 G5
That head of yours has got you by, time and time again
G5 Eb5
My arms and legs are achin' and my head's about to blow
F5 G5
And your back's been breakin' and I'd hate to spoil the show
G5 Eb5
But I just spent next week's wages and I'm right out of coin
F5 G5
But you want more and it's half past four, and they want to close the joint
G5 Eb5
And we can't afford a taxi, and it's too late for the bus
F5 G5
But I've been told by friends of mine you're someone I can trust
[Chorus 2]
C5
Carry me home
G5
Oh, won't you carry me home
C5
Carry me home
D5
Don't leave me lying here, in all this beer!

[Verse 3]
G5 Eb5
You drank all your booze and half of mine
F5 G5
I'm bleary eyed and you're waiting for the sunshine to come and kill me
G5 Eb5
Just like the man who threw me on the floor
F5 G5
Don't matter, while I'm down here I might as well try and find the back end door
G5 Eb5
"Excuse me, have you seen it?" "It's about this big"
F5 G5
"And have you got a plastic bag 'cause I'm gonna be sick"
G5 Eb5
I'm dead drunk and heavin', hangin' upside down
F5 N.C.
And you're gettin' up and leavin', you think I'm gonna drown
[Chorus 3]
C5
Carry me home
G5
Oh, won't you carry me home
C5 D5
Carry me home
C5
Carry me home
G5
Oh, won't you carry me home
C5 D5
Carry me home
