Carolina

[Primeira Parte]

         Bm
Oh, Carolina creeks
           A        Em
Running through my veins
                             A
Lost I was born, lonesome I came
              Bm
Lonesome I'll always stay

Carolina knows why
     A        Em
For years, I roam
                                   A
Free as these birds, light as whispers
     Bm
Carolina knows

[Pré-Refrão]

And you didn't see me here

No, they never did see me here
          D   A    Em
And she's in my dreams

[Refrão]

                          D
Into the mist, into the clouds
 A      Em
Don't leave
                             D
I make a fist, I'll make it count
                A
And there are places
        Em
I will never, ever go
Bm                 A        Em
   And things that only Carolina
            Bm  A  Em  A  Bm
Will ever know

[Segunda Parte]

                         A        Em
Carolina stains on the dress she left
                          A
Indelible scars, pivotal marks
             Bm
Blue as the life she fled
                           A     Em
Carolina pines, won't you cover me?
                                   A
Hide me like robes down the back road
             Bm
Muddy these webs we weave

[Pré-Refrão]

And you didn't see me here

Oh, they never did see me here
          D   A    Em
And she's in my dreams

[Refrão]

                          D
Into the mist, into the clouds
 A      Em
Don't leave
                             D
I make a fist, I'll make it count
                A
And there are places
        Em
I will never, ever go
Bm                 A         Em
   And things that only Carolina
            D  A  Em
Will ever know

( D  A  Em )

[Ponte]

     Bm
And you didn't see me here
      A
They never did see me here
     Em
No, you didn't see me here
      A
They never saw me

[Terceira Parte]

         Bm
Oh, Carolina knows
          A            Em
Why for years they've said
                      A
That I was guilty as sin
                Bm
And sleep in a liar's bed

But the sleep comes fast
          A        Em
And I'll meet no ghosts
              Em
It's between me
                   A
The sand, and the sea
     Bm
Carolina knows
