Carry You There - Hanson
From Stand Up Stand Up EP
Acoustic Guitar Chords
Key of C
but instead of G, they use the A chord
It's better if you play the chords like this:
Dm - play open Dm xx0231
Dm(2)- play Dm barred, fifth fret x57765
A - open A x0222x
A(2) - barred A, fifth fret 577655
A7 - x0202x
Em - barred Em, seventh fret x79987
CHORUS: [the guitar is actually at rest for the first chorus]
Dm A A7
Well I don’t care what you say
Dm A A7
I don’t have use for your words anyway
Dm A A7
You don’t need a Cadillac
Dm A A7
Cause I’ll be waiting with my bare back
To carry you there Dm Em Dm(2) A(2) [guitar comes in here]
VERSE:
A Em A
Try, you don’t have to be afraid to just rely
Em Dm(2)
Cause I want to hold the weight part of the time
A
It’s alright
Em A
It can get too much to handle by yourself
Em A
And if you can’t do it alone I know you will say
Em Dm(2)
I don’t know what’s at stake
A(2)
Or what it takes
CHORUS:
Dm A A7 Dm
And I don’t care what you say
A A7 Dm
Don’t have use for your words anyway
A A7 Dm
You don’t need a Cadillac
A A7
Cause I’ll be waiting with my bare back
To carry you there
Dm Em Dm(2) A(2)
Oh yeah!
Dm Em Dm(2) A(2)
VERSE:
Turn around
And you just might see the good you’ve left behind
But you’re all caught up with what’s still left to find
And it’s never enough, so slow down
And the root of what you're feeling might appear
Well all the pushing up the hill has brought you here
And you’re used up to the line
You tell me you are fine
CHORUS:
But I don’t care what you say
Don’t have use for your words anyway
You don’t need a Cadillac
Cause I’ll be waiting, I’ll be waiting
To carry you there
Oh yeah...
BRIDGE:
Em Dm(2) A(2)
So don’t be too proud, I’m holding my hand out
Dm(2)
You’ve been my friend on darker days
Em Dm(2) A(2)
I’ll still be there despite your despair
Dm(2) Em A[Isaac plays this really fast as a transition to Dm]
And I don’t really care what you say
Dm Em Dm(2) A(2)
Hey hey hey
[one light strum each, listen to recording - repeated til end]
A Dm
Said I’ll carry you there, I will carry you there
I’ll carry you there, I will carry you there
I’ll carry you there, I will carry you there
I’ll carry you there, I will carry you there
I’ll carry you there, I will carry you there
I’ll carry you there, I will carry you there
I’ll carry you there, I will carry you there
I’ll carry you there, I will carry you there
I’ll carry you there, I will carry you there
I’ll carry you there, I will carry you there
Not sure if it's 100% accurate, but it's close. I've watched Isaac play it live twice.
strumming is pretty simple - listen to the recording or watch
