Verse 1:
        D
In Carolina
                A
There were pictures on the wall
                  D
And the pain is lighter
                                  A
The house is empty now and only shadows fall

                   G
And when you cross over

I hope she's waiting there for you

When you cross over

Please know that I'll always love you

When you cross over
                                   G
I hope your pain returns into the light
A                      D
When you cross over tonight


Verse 2:

My brother
                         A

           D
My family moved to Carolina
                                   A
In the shadows of the pines and lumberyards


Chorus:
                    G

I hope they're waiting there for you

And may your pain return into the light
                    A   D
When you cross over tonight

In Carolina
         A              Asus  A
Roses bloom beside the house
                        D
Your brother and your sister, your mother and your father
            A
All of your friends gather around


Chorus:
                    G
And when you cross over
                 D
I hope they're waiting there for you

When you cross over
                     D
Please know that I'll always love you
                G
When you cross over
                D
To the space between the blue
            D/F#                      G
And all the pain dissolves into the light
                   A   D
When you cross over tonight
