Young Love (Carry Me Away) (Diamond/Wickens) from 1986’s “Desire For Freedom”
Not too sure about the G7 in the bridge. There may be some briefly played chords missing (particularly in the “Carry me away” part), but all in all it sounds about right. This is the same key in which this great song, shamefully absent from the Internet in most possible ways, was recorded. Listen closely to the recording to get the rhythm and timing of the intro/chorus chords.
Intro riff: C-F | C-G (3x) C
CAm7G Seems I need a little time F It’s like a new beginning CAm7G Just a little frightened to let go Feels like I’m falling, it’s so good And I don’t want to fight it There’s something deep inside that says no
Dm7 As I walk in this strange land, so confused Em7 Someone help me understand Am7G7C Hey now, I know you pretty well
FCGC Oh young love, don’t you fret FCGC You ain’t seen the best of my life yet FCGC Oh young love, don’t you cry for me
Saw you first across the crowded room Stopped dead the conversation Couldn’t seem to turn my eyes away Everything about you seems so right And without hesitation Came right out and asked your name
And now that I found you, my life has changed Only one road left to take Not even time can break the spell
Oh young love, don’t you fret You ain’t seen the best of my life yet Oh young love, don’t you cry for me
Dm7 Carry me away, like a ship out on the ocean CAm7 Carry me away, come on, use your magic potion Dm7Bb Carry me away, young love, oh young love C Carry me away
(Saxophone solo)
As I walk in this strange land, so confused Someone help me understand Hey now, I know you pretty well
Oh young love, don’t you fret You ain’t seen the best of my life yet Oh young love, don’t you cry for me Oh young love, don’t you fret You ain’t seen the best of my life yet Oh young love, don’t you cry for me, no no
Carry me away, like a ship out on the ocean Carry me away, come on, use your magic potion Carry me away, young love, oh young love Carry me away
Carry me away Carry me away Carry me away, come on take me with you, girl Carry me away, because without you, girl, I am nothing
