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.

Over greener hills.

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.

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  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.
