Lyrics

Some saw the (Bm7)sun,

some saw the (A)smoke,

some heard the (B)gun,

some some bent (B)the (Em)bow.

Some times the (Am6)wire

must (B)tense for the (Em7)note.

Caught in the (B7)fire,

Lord,

say (Am)oh,

we’re a (D)bout

to ex (A)plode.

Car ry your world,

car ry your world.

Car ry your world,

car ry your world.

Some far a (A)way,

some search for (B)gold,

some drag on (B)to (Em)slay.

Heav en, we (Am6)hope,

is (B)just up the (Em7)road.

Show me the (B7)way.

Lord,

’cause (Am)I,

I’m a (D)bout

to ex (A)plode.

Car ry your world,

car ry your world.

Car ry your world,

car ry your world.

Car ry your world,

and all your hurt.
