  			Intro: Em  C  Am  D 

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

G     C 
Carry me 
G      Em   C   Am    D 
Carry me 

Em              C 
I heard the many voices 
Am                        D 
Speaking to me from the depths below 
Em 
This ancient wound 
C 
This catacomb 
Am               D 
Beneath the whited snow 
Em           C          Am 
Come to me, come to me, come to me 
D 
Come and drink of me 
Em            C           Am 
Or turn away, turn away, turn away 
D 
And never more think of me 

G     C 
Carry me 
G     Em   C   Am    D 
Carry me away 

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

G     C 
Carry me 
G     C 
Carry me 
G     C 
Carry me 
G     Em   C   Am    D 
Carry me away 
G     C 
Carry me 
G     C 
Carry me 
G     C 
Carry me 
G     Em   C   Am    D 
Carry me away
