Song:  "Carry On" by Tim Mcgraw
Album:  A Place in the Sun

This is a great song.  Now that I had to listen to the words to
transcribe it, I realize that this song has a really good message.  He
sings this in 'Ab'.

Capo 1st fret

Intro alternates between G and Em.

Mama went to sleep one night and never woke up
Em              
Daddy cried a tear into her old coffee cup.

Now all he want to do is drink the hurt all away.

If Mama was here, I know what Mama would say.

Little sister's husband ran off with her best friend

Bridge:

C                                         D
Nobody ever said that life was going to be fair
C                                         D
You're never gonna get nowhere by running scared
C
If you look down deep inside you'll find

The faith that makes you strong,    Carry on
