Version 1

            Great song but unfortunately very short by J.J Cale
Watch out for the main riff Am/G switching, it alternates a bit. You'll hear it.

Capo 2

[Intro] (x2)
Am Am G Am
Am G Am Am

[Verse]
      Am                     G             Am
If life`s little downs they keep coming around
         E        Am
Carry on, carry on
      Am                      G                   Am
With darkness all about, you want to scream and shout
         E        Am
Carry on, carry on

[Chorus]
Dm         Am     Dm                  Am 
Don`t cry baby, look at where you`ve been
Am           G    F                E
Everybody knows you just need a friend
Am                           G                   Am
Please, please, please, if you`re down on your knees
         E        Am
Carry on, carry on

[Interlude]
Am Am G Am

[Verse]
      Am                         G               Am
Your head is full of doubt, you can`t figure it out
         E        Am
Carry on, carry on
    Am                        G                 Am
Between the time it takes to make all those mistakes
         E        Am
Carry on, carry on

[Chorus]
Dm         Am     Dm             Am 
It don`t matter what you say or do
Am                G        F              E
It just seems to work out if you want it to
Am                      G                   Am
Let out all the slack, take it off your back
         E        Am
Carry on, carry on

[Break]
Am Am G Am
Am G Am Am
Am Am G Am
Am G Am Am
Dm Am Dm Am 
Am G F E

[Outro]
Am                     G              Am
Let me bend your ear, never shed a tear
         E        Am
Carry on, carry on
         E        Am
Carry on, carry on
         E        Am
Carry on, carry on
