Lyrics

Some saw

the (B5)sun.

Some saw

the (F#)smoke.

Some heard

the (G#)gun.

Some Some bent

the (C#m)bow.

Some times

the (F#m6)wire

must (G#7)tense for

the (C#m7)note.

Caught in

the (G#7)fire.

Lord,

Say “oh,

we’re a bout

to ex (F#)plode.”

’Car ry your world.

I’ll car ry your world.

Car ry your world.

I’ll car ry your world.

saw

the (B5)sun.

Some far

a (F#)way.

Some search

for (G#)gold.

Some dra gon

to (C#m)slay.

Heav en,

we (F#m6)hope,

is (G#7)just up

the (C#m7)road.

Show me

the (G#7)way,

Lord,

’cause I’m,

I’m a bout

to ex (F#)plode.

’Car ry your world.

I’ll car ry your world.

Car ry your world.

I’ll car ry your world.

(Car ry your world.)

Car ry your world

and all your hurt.

(Car ry your world.

Car ry your world.)
