VERSE:
D G D
We met on The Carolinian heading south from D.C.
D G A
It's as if God himself had picked out our seats
G D A
She smiled and said Richmond when I asked where she was bound
D F#m G A D
I began to wish my life away to have been born in that town
D G D
We talked a little bit and then she smiled, I saw down in her eyes
D G A
She wasn't just beautiful, she was kind and she was wise
G D A
But a woman down in Raleigh, would soon have my son
D F#m G A D
So I waited for her station like the bullet from a gun
CHORUS:
A
She's in Richmond with my heart
G A D
And I'm bound for Carolina
D A
Wish I'd never met this train
G A D
Or the girl that's left behind her
VERSE:
D G D
When the train reached the station, she looked me in the eye
D G A
Said, come with me to Richmond and we'll start a brand new life
G D A
Well you know that moment still weighs on my mind
D F#m G A D
Cause I took my body to Raleigh, and left my heart behind
CHORUS:
A
She's in Richmond with my heart
G A D
And I'm bound for Carolina
D A
Wish I'd never met this train
G A D
Or the girl that's left behind her
D/C# Bm A
Now we're apart
G A N.C. D
While I'm bound for Caroline, she's in Richmond with my heart

VERSE:
D G D
My son is grown up to my hand, and he fills me with pride
D G A
I take him down to the station to watch the trains roll by
G D A
But that northbound Carolinian always makes the teardrops start
D F#m G A D
Cause its headed up to Virginia where I left my heart
CHORUS:
A
She's in Richmond with my heart
G A D
And I'm bound for Carolina
D A
Wish I'd never met this train
G A D
Or the girl that's left behind her
D/C# Bm A
Now we're apart
G A N.C. D D/C# Bm A
While I'm bound for Caroline, she's in Richmond with my heaaaaaaaart
