Verse 1:
C              F
Now tonight we made good time, 
C                       Am
Straddling that yellow line.
C                 F        G
Another town, the same old songs.
C                 F
My mind is racing down the street. 
C                    Am
These shoes are suffocating me.
C                F       G     C
The only place I want to be is gone.

Verse 2:
C                  F
Take me where them rolling hills 
C                 Am
Can gather up and cure my ills.
C                 F         G
Let me smell that long-leaf pine. 
C                 F
Here I come clear off a space, 
C                    Am 
Just don't forget my name or face 
C                 F       G   C
Before I get back down to Caroline. 


Chorus 1:
C   F       C
Oh, oh, Carolina. 
C  F         G
Over greener hills. 
C F          C    C/B Am
Beside bluer waters,  
C         F G        C
Carolina, I love you still. 


Verse 3:
C            F
America's so big and great, 
C                         Am
Goes coast to coast, goes state to state. 
C                   F           G
I love you from the east to the west. 
C                F
New York island, California, 
C             Am
Woody Guthrie had it for you, 
C                    F        G    C
But there's a corner of you I love best. 


Chorus 2:
C   F       C
Oh, oh, Carolina. 
C  F         G
Over greener hills. 
C F          C    C/B Am
Beside bluer waters,  
C         F G        C    C7
Carolina, I love you still. 


Bridge:
F                       G
'Cause nothing could be finer 
        Am             C
Than to know where you stand 
Am                            G
And feel that big love coming down. 


Instrumental:
C  F  C  Am
C  F  G  C


Verse 4:
C                      F
Hey, gray skies, don't rain on me. 
C                 Am
I got someplace I got to be. 
     C            F            G
This emptiness is all in me, I think I should be going. 
C            F
Sixty-one or sixty-six, 
C            Am
Any road can give you kicks, 
C                F     G        C
But only one can carry you back home. 


Chorus 3:
C   F       C
Oh, oh, Carolina. 
C  F         G
Over greener hills. 
C F          C    C/B Am
Beside bluer waters,  
C         F G        C    *
Carolina, I love you still. 
F         G          C    *
Carolina, I love you still. 
F         G          C    
Carolina, I love you still.
