great song but unfortunately very short by j . j cale

capo 2

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

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

your head is full of doubt , you can`t figure it out
carry on , carry on
between the time it takes to make all those mistakes
carry on , carry on
it don`t matter what you say or do
it just seems to work out if you want it to
let out all the slack , take it off your back
carry on , carry on
let me bend your ear , never shed a tear
carry on , carry on
carry on , carry on
