(To go along with the piano a bit, i've added in the G1 & Em1 chords. It's just
used quickly between chord changes to make it sound authentic, but if you're just
wanting to keep it simple, by all means miss it out)

Verse:

G                             Em7 (G1)
Anywhere you go, anyone you meet,
G                                      Em7 (G1)
Remember that your eyes can be your enemies,
       G                                    Em7 (Em1)
I said hell is so close, and heavens out of reach,
   Cadd9                       
but i ain't giving up quite yet,
     D2
i've got too much to lose,


Chorus:

Em7                     Cadd9  G       D2    
hold me down, sweet and low little girl
Em7                     Cadd9    D2              G
hold me down, sweet and low and i will carry you home,
Em7                     Cadd9   G       D2
hold me down, sweet and low little girl,
Em7         Cadd9   D2 *build up-mute*                          
hold me down....                    ...and i'll carry you home.

*INTRO* - Em7, Cadd9, G, D2 (x2)

Verse:

G                                        Em7  (G1)
the rain is gonna fall, the sun is gonna shine,
G                                        Em7  (G1)
the wind is gonna blow, the waters gonna rise,
          G                                Em7 (Em1)
she said, when that day comes look into my eyes,
    Cadd9                        D2 
but no ones giving up quite yet, we've got too much to lose,


Chorus:


Em7                     Cadd9  G       D2    
hold me down, sweet and low little girl
Em7                     Cadd9    D2              G
hold me down, sweet and low and i will carry you home,
Em7                     Cadd9   G       D2
hold me down, sweet and low little girl,
Em7         Cadd9   D2 *build up-mute*                          
hold me down....                    ...and i'll carry you home.


Bridge: (Strum down quickly)

                   Em      
and i'll carry you all the way,
         G2          
when you say you're fine,
           A/E                 C2
but you're still young and out of line,
     Em              G2
when all i need's to turn around,
   A/E              C2
to make it last, to make it count,
        Em                  G2
i ain't gonna make the same mistakes,
     A/E         C2    
that put my mama in her grave,
Em            G2   A/E   Asus
i don't wanna be alone...

Chorus:

Em7                     Cadd9  G       D2    
hold me down, sweet and low little girl
Em7                     Cadd9    D2              G
hold me down, sweet and low and i will carry you home,
Em7                     Cadd9   G       D2
hold me down, sweet and low little girl,
Em7         Cadd9   D2 *build up-mute*                          
hold me down....                    ...and i'll carry you home.
