Daddy Won’t You Carry Me? CHORD CHART
©2016-17 Steve Eulberg
D
The nightly stand-off has begun
D D/E /F#
The sun is down and day is gone
G D
The cuckoo clock ticks on and on
A A7
And now his little mouth begins to yawn.
D
It’s time to go___ he knows
D D/E /F#
but his daddy wants his big boy to grow
G D
and walk on his two feet like a little man,
A A7
even though he knows he can:
D
Daddy won’t you carry me?
Em
up the stairs to my bed
A G
Let me lay my head upon
D G A
your strong shoulder
D G /F# Em
Daddy hold me close to your heart
A
Let me hear it beat
G D
and know the pulse of your love…
G A
Daddy won’t you carry me?
D D/C# Bm
Daddy won’t you carry me?
Em
Daddy won’t you carry me?
A D D7
upstairs to my dreams…
G A
Daddy won’t you carry me?
D D/C# Bm
Daddy won’t you carry me?
Em
Daddy won’t you carry me?
A G6
upstairs…
D
As eldest he longs to be grown
D
Be a help, not a burden, at home
G D
Whenever he can to do things on his own.
A
Baby sisters can’t yet do things all alone
D
It’s a fact and he knows this to be true
D
But there’s another one and this one is not new:
G D
Big boys need some reassurance, too
A A7
Turns out that is something Daddies can do… CHORUS
………
A Bm G
upstairs….
C G/B D
A nurse holds the receiver to his ear
C G/B D
He’s 5,000 miles away from here
C G/B D
The years have robbed him of his tongue
F C Bm7 Asus4 A
I speak for both in a dialogue of one…his time has come…
(as above)
Daddy won’t you carry him?…
