INTRO is pretty simple D5 G5 D5 D5 and the song is in 4/4 time 
 
        D5                            G5 
       Second Street and Broadway, sittin??? in a doorway 
      D5
       Head held in his hands 
      E5                                    A5 
      Looked to all the world, like he was prayin??? 
      D5                            G5
       Foot wrapped in an old rag, bottle in a brown bag 
      D5
      I saw him try to stand 
      E5                                  A5 
      Then I heard the words that he was sayin??? ooh yeah 
       
      He said:  
       
      (Chorus) 
      D5                G5                 D5 
      Come on, Carrie, carry me a little farther 
                                         A5
      Come on, Carrie, carry me one more mile 
      D5                     
       I don???t know where it???s leading to 
            G5                       E5
      But I know I can make it if I leaned on you, so 
      D5                G5
      Come on, Carrie, carry me a little 
      D5                   G5
       I carried you, now carry me a little 
      D5                G5                 D5
      Come on, Carrie, carry me a little while 
       
      (verse 2) 
      D5                                  G5
      Well he struggled to his feet, and Staggered down the street 
             D5
      To the window of a five and dime 
      E5                                      A5
      He stood and laughed a while at his re flection 
      D5                         G5
      Then I heard him shouting something ???bout a mountain 
      D5
      He could surely climb 
         E5                                         A5 
      If she was only there to point the right dir ection 
       
      But she ain???t no, he said: 
       
      (Chorus) 
      D5                G5                 D5
      Come on, Carrie, carry me a little farther 
                                         A5
      Come on, Carrie, carry me one more mile 
      D5        
      I don???t know where it???s leading to 
            G5                       E5
      But I know I can make it if I leaned on you, so 
      D5                G5
      Come on, Carrie, carry me a little 
      D5                  G5
      I carried you, now carry me a little 
      D5                G5                  D5
      Come on, Carrie, carry me, a little while 
      G5              D5                        G5

      G5                D5

                      G5 C5
      Got to carry me (Carrie) 
                   D5

                G5

               D5

             G5                                          D5
