x 2 all of this - then you go into the chorus
Chorus chords: F# E E B.
Some saw the sun
Some saw the smoke
Some heard the gun
Some bent the bow
Sometimes the wire must tense for the note
Caught in the fire, say oh
We're about to explode
Carry your world, I'll carry your world
Carry your world, I'll carry your world
Some far away
Some search for gold
Some dragon to slay
Heaven we hope is just up the road
Show me the way Lord, because I am about to explode
Carry your world, I'll carry your world
Carry your world, I'll carry your world
Carry your world and all your hurt
(Carry your world, I'll carry your world)

*Notes and Notations*
1. The intro: given that there is an arppegiation of D-A-A, that might make you
want to play a D major chord with your pinky on F on the high E string.
Technically, yes, this is how the recording does it, but simply because there is
an octave of the fifth does not inherently make this intro chord major. As such, I
have listed it as a Dm, given that it is shortly followed by such.
3. The G chord I have listed: I am a staunch believer of dropping the low B on the
A string in a G chord. It just muddies the tone to me. Leaving the high B still
present completes the triad while also making a brighter G; that being said, you
can make that high B a high D—cutting out the third of the chord is purely
aesthetic, so don’t feel inclined to follow this if you disagree.
3. Lastly, the E7 might sound like there is an octave D on the B string there, but
this is unnecessary given the lower seventh present in a standard E7 chord
fulfills the seventh necessary for a V7 chord. As to WHY there is an E7 there, it
is a borrowed V7/v chord. Am immediately precedes E and E7, so this negates any
possibility of it being a III7, as a iii-III7 is incredibly uncommon compared to a
V-V7/v. This is just theory babble, so disregard it if you aren’t interested in that.
