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

Carry me
Carry me
Carry me
Carry me away
Carry me
Carry me
Carry me
Carry me away
