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
