Standard (EADGBE)
Today I went and bought myself a bottle
Like we used to do, reminded me of you.
Today I saw a train roll by the river
Blowing off its steam, reminded me of me
That's when I threw the bottle in the river,
That's when I started running for the train.
There's nothing that you need I cant deliver
Carry me away, carry me away
Think it's seven or nine California time
He who said he(it) was a small one(world) was either a liar or a fool,
'cos its not true.
And the promises we make are as easy to break
As the plastic people on a wedding cake
So says you, to know I do.
For the next part, play G and Am like this:
(I saw him do it this way in concert)
play the G and C bass notes with your ring finger
I hear you thinking
From far away
I just a-keep-on lyin' and cryin' and tryin' and drinkin'
I'm gonna carry me away, carry me away
If you think about me
From far away
I hope you find her with me or without me
carry me away, carry me away...etc..fade out
seeya,
eric
