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?
