G

[Chorus]
        C   G          C   G
Carry me back, carry me back
        C              G      E
Carry me back, I been away too long
   A7               D7    C  G
I'm goin' home where I belong

[Verse 1]
G         D            C               Edim7
Oh for the pillow where my head used to lay
G      Bm                 D
'Fore I left to be a grown man, way back then
G                G7
I miss the wooden kitchen floor
C                         A7
Painted brown to match the old back door
     G       E7   A7         D7   C  G
In my old Kentucky home where I belong

[Chorus]
        C   G
Carry me back
        C                  G
Carry me back, dont't wanna be here no more
        C              G     E
Carry me back, I been away so long
   A7               D7     C  G
I'm goin' back where I come from

[Verse 2]
G          D             C                  Edim7
Something I read one day, I might have heard somebody say
G      Bm             D
Made me leave my happy home, shouldn't never left
G              G7           C                      A7
Fortune waitin' in the city, pretty women just like in the movies
G           E7       A7   D7    C  G
The craziest mess you ever wanna see

[Chorus]
        C   G
Carry me back
        C                   G
Carry me back, ain't nothin' here for me
        C             G        E
Carry me back, I wanna get back home
A7                D7
Take me back where I belong

[Instrumental]
C  G  C  G  C  G  E  A  D

[Bridge]
         G                     G7
Yeah yeah Lord Almighty, I sure learned a lot
C                           A7
Enough to send me back where I come from
       G       E7   A7   D7    C  G
To that old Kentucky home far away, yeah

[Chorus]
        C  G
Carry me back
        C                G
Carry me back, where I belong now
        C               G        E
Carry me back, I'm on my way back home
   A7               D7    C  G
I'm goin' back where I belong

[Chorus]
        C   G          C   G
Carry me back, carry me back
        C               G        E
Carry me back, I'm on my way back home
A7                D7     C
Take me back where I come from
                                  G  G7
I wanna get back, south back home
