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
C Am7 G
Seems I need a little time
F
It’s like a new beginning
C Am7 G
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
Am7 G7 C
Hey now, I know you pretty well

F C G C
Oh young love, don’t you fret
F C G C
You ain’t seen the best of my life yet
F C G C
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
C Am7
Carry me away, come on, use your magic potion
Dm7 Bb
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
