Carrying Cathy   (If chords are highlighted it means the first chord is played in the right hand, and second is the first note octave of that chord...- or sumthing?). 

(Intro)

F#  /  %  / E  /  % / F# /  % / E  / %  /  Dmaj7 /  % /  F# / %  / 

 

(Verse 1)

F#                       F#7

Her window was hung like a painting

B/F#                                    Dmaj7

She worried it might come to life
  

   F#/C#                 C#

She stared for hours

F#                        F#7/E
So obsessed was I and self-absorbed that I

B/D#                        
Didn't see that she was

Dmaj7

Crying

(Chorus)

               F#/C#                        C#

There was always someone carrying

Bm7                                    E
There was always someone carrying

Amaj7                               Dmaj7                                           
Always someone's carrying Cathy

 

Bm7   \   E   \   F#   \   %  \  F#  B  \  %  \  E  A \  %  \  F#  B  \  %  \  E  A \  %  \ 

(Verse 2)

F#                                    F#7/E

There were times when I'd find myself saying that:

B/D#                                    Dmaj7
"Friends, you don't understand"

                    F#/C#                                  C#
And she's different when it's just me and her, and I

F#                                   F#7/E     
Closed the door and I tried to hang on and she

B                        Dmaj7
Sank into the dark

F#/C#                            C#
I was over my head

(Chorus)

       Bm7                                E

There was always someone carrying

     A                                     Dmaj7
There was always someone carrying

Bm7                      E                / F#  /  %  /  E   A /   E   A /
Always someone's carrying Cathy

                        Dmaj7

We gave you everything

                                F#
You could have been anything

                            Dmaj7
We gave you everything

                             F#   

You could have done anything

                        Dmaj7

But to imagine a fall

                G#7/F#    F#   G#7/F#    F#
With no one at -   all -   to catch you

                                   Bm7  /  E   /  Amaj7  / Dmaj7  /  Bm7  /  E   /  F#  /  %  / 
There'd always been someone

Bm7                                    E

Then one night she climbed into the picture frame

Amaj7                    Dmaj7
Out in the frozen air

Bm7     E     F#
And out of sight

(Verse 3)

F#                                F#7

Woke up sad from this dream I've been having

   B/F#                                Dmaj7 \  %  \   A#/C#    \ C#  \
The last couple nights or so

      F#                                F#/E 
With her father and brothers we're all at the funeral

            B/D#                             Dmaj7
Carrying a box through the rain    

  C#sus4                                        C#
Then somebody says that it's always been this way

(Chorus)

   Bm7                               E

Always someone's carrying

         Amaj7                        Dmaj7  
There was always someone carrying

Bm7                                E                E
Always someone's carrying      -      &nnbsp;  Cathy

(End)
