----------------------------------------------- CARRY ME - The Stampeders ----------------------------------------------- Written by: Rich Dodson (Stampeders guitarist) Album: Against the Grain (1971) Tabbed by: Todd Young Email: [email protected] Tuning: Standard EADGBE
This is my FIRST tab - and so be nice! A beautiful song by one of Canada's finest who reunited in 1992 and are still going strong in 2006. I posted this tab because I find the song anywhere online; of course it is only my interpretation, so feel free to corrections / feedback.
Rich, Kim, Ronnie - great to have you back again!
INTRO:
ADAD Mmm-mmm Mmm-mmm
A Carry me DA Home to Birmingham DA To my Sarah-Ann DABm To where I grew a man
DEA Mmm-mmm carry me DA Away from this old war DA I don't wanna fight no more DABm I just wish it would end DE Mmm-mmm
CHORUS AD Here I'm tied down and homesick AD And that old wind just blows so freely DABm Why can't it take me along
DEA Mmm-mmm carry me DA With you ramblin' wind DA It's the place you've been DEA I wish I was home again
ADAD Mmm-mmm Mmm-mmm

CHORUS AD Here I'm tied down and homesick AD And that old wind just blows so freely DABm Why can't it take me along
DEA Mmm-mmm carry me DA Home to Alabam DA To Sarah's homemade jam DABm To old red mountain land

RIFFS:
Of course there are lots of cool licks and riffs in this song, and here are my humble of the more prominent ones that stand out. Try them out if you get two guitars going and of course, feel free to correct them as you see fit (sorry if they’re not entirely – these are my first riffs!):
riff1 (played over the B E B chords in the break and coda): e|--------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------| D|--1-----------------------------------| A|-----2--4--2-----2—2------------------| E|--------------4--------4--2-----------|
riff2 (that quick one between the B E B chords in the break and coda): e|--------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------| A|--------2--4---------2----------------| E|--2--4--------2--4--------------------|
riff3 (This riff is only played ONCE – at the end of the break on top of the last B E It starts out the same as the beginning of riff1, but then it goes into a descent which on the A note and sets you up for the A chord of the upcoming chorus – might not be – but it works for me!): e|-----------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------| G|-----------------1-----------------------------| D|--1-----------------4--2--4--2--0--------------| A|-----2--4--2-----------------------4--2--------| E|--------------4--------------------------------|
