Concrete Blonde is an alternative rock band dating from the early 1980s to the early 1990s (and re-formed again in the 2000s). They are best known for the poignant songwriting and vocals of Johnette Napolitano.
Singer / songwriter / bassist Napolitano formed the band Dream 6 with guitarist James Mankey in Los Angeles in 1982, releasing an eponymous EP in France on the Happy Hermit label in 1983. When they signed with IRS in 1986, labelmate Michael Stipe suggested the name Concrete Blonde

for this one, I put alot of emphasis on the bass notes I havent spent years on it or anything but this is how I think it might go:
CARRY ME AWAY- Concrete Blonde
AmEmCGAm Today I went and bought myself a bottle GAm Like we used to do, reminded me of you.
AmEmCGAm Today I saw a train roll by the river GAm Blowing off its steam, reminded me of me
GAm That's when I threw the bottle in the river, GAmGCEm That's when I started running for the train.
AmEmCGAm There's nothing that you need I cant deliver GAm Carry me away, carry me away
AmEmCG Think it's seven or nine California time AmG He who said he(it) was a small one(world) was either a liar or a fool,
'cos its not true.
AmEmCG And the promises we make are as easy to break Am As the plastic people on a wedding cake GAm So says you, to know I do.
For the next part, play G and Am like this: (I saw him do it this way in concert)
