Augustana Sweet and Low Lyrics

CORRECTED COPY!!
It's a pretty cool song, this is just a rough idea of the chords. It sounds
pretty much right to me.
Intro: Em7, Cadd9, G, D/F - (x2)
(To go along with the piano a bit, i've added in the G1 & Em1 chords. It's just used
between chord changes to make it sound authentic, but if you're just wanting to keep it
Verse:
Anywhere you go, anyone you meet,
Remember that your eyes can be your enemies,
I said hell is so close, and heavens out of reach,
but i ain't giving up quite yet,
i've got too much to lose,
Chorus:
hold me down, sweet and low little girl
hold me down, sweet and low and i will carry you home,
hold me down, sweet and low little girl,
Em7 Cadd9 D/F *build up-mute*
hold me down.... ...and i'll carry you home.
*INTRO* - Em7, Cadd9, G, D/F (x2)
Verse:
the rain is gonna fall, the sun is gonna shine,
the wind is gonna blow, the waters gonna rise,
she said, when that day comes look into my eyes,
but no ones giving up quite yet, we've got too much to lose,
Chorus:
hold me down, sweet and low little girl
hold me down, sweet and low and i will carry you home,
hold me down, sweet and low little girl,
Em7 Cadd9 D/F *build up-mute*
hold me down.... ...and i'll carry you home.
Bridge: (Strum down quickly)
(In the background of the bridge)
and i'll carry you all the way,
when you say you're fine,
but you're still young and out of line,
when all i need's to turn around,
to make it last, to make it count,
i ain't gonna make the same mistakes,
that put my mama in her grave,
Em G2 A/E(hold) G3(when he goes a bit higher) A/E (quick)
i don't wanna be alone...
Chorus:
hold me down, sweet and low little girl
hold me down, sweet and low and i will carry you home,
hold me down, sweet and low little girl,
Em7 Cadd9 D/F *build up-mute*
hold me down.... ...and i'll carry you home.
*INTRO* - Em7, Cadd9, G, D/F (REPEAT) Finish on G
