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

       
      (Chorus) 
      D                G                 D
      Come on, Carrie, carry me a little farther 
                                         A
      Come on, Carrie, carry me one more mile 
      D        
      I donâ??t know where itâ??s leading to 
            G                       E
      But I know I can make it if I leaned on you, so 
      D                G
      Come on, Carrie, carry me a little 
      D                  G
      I carried you, now carry me a little 
      D                G                  D
      Come on, Carrie, carry me, a little while 
      G              D                        G
