Em                 Cmaj7
I lay down by the river
Am                  Cmaj7         Em
The shadows moved across me, inch by inch
Cmaj7
And all that I heard
        Am               Cmaj7
Was the war between the water
and the bridge
Em
Turn to me (turn to me)
Cmaj7
turn to me (turn to me)
Am
turn to me (turn to me)
Cmaj7             Em
Turn and drink of me
 Em
(Look away) Or look away,
 Cmaj7
(Look away) look away,
 Am
(Look away) look away
     C               G
And never more think of me

Chorus:
G      C
Carry me
G     Em
Carry me

I heard the many voices
Speaking to me from the depths below
This ancient wound, this catacomb
Beneath the whited snow

Come to me, come to me, come to me
Come and drink of me
Or turn away, turn away, turn away
And never more think of me

Chorus:
G      C
Carry me
G     Em
Carry me
  Cmaj7
A-way

Who will lay down their hammer?
Who will put up their sword?
And pause to see the mystery
The mystery of the word

Chorus:
G      C
Carry me
G      C
Carry me
Am     D
Carry me
Am     D   G
Carry me away
G      C
Carry me
G      C
Carry me
Am     D
Carry me
Am     D   G
Carry me away...
