E 
Well the red light fades and the Sun won't shine 

Try to chase those ghosts from those ghosts, from this heart of mine 
        A 
And the red town lady said she'd save me cry 

C#m                    A 
Take me down where the people carry roses 
C#m                    A                    E 
Take me down where the street signs know me inside out 

E 
Well the cheap red wine is the kind I love the best 

Makes the days pass by and a magical mess 
        A 
And the red town lady, makes my soul confess 
C#m                    A 
Take me down with your money and your roses 
C#m                    A                                E 
Take me down where the night comes crashing through the window 

E 
look out boy, take a back seat and make them enjoy 

The sound, this hopeless mess 

Spend their money, watch them undress their soul, 

And a furious fire, round the drink and smoke out of line 

And leave, in a jealous hurricane 
B7 
They won't forget your name 

E 
Carry me home, carry me home carry me 
                          B7           E 
Won't somebody chase this pain from my door? 
E 
Carry me home, carry me home, carry me 
                          B7           E 
Won't somebody chase this pain from my window? 
E 
Carry me home, carry me home, carry me 
                          B7           E 
Won't somebody chase this pain from my door? 
E 
Carry me home, carry me home, carry me 
                          B7           E 
Won't somebody chase this pain from my window? 
E 
Carry me home, carry me home, carry me 
                         B7           E 
Won't somebody take this pain from my door?
