Where time has never passed so slowly
                  C         G
Way down south in North Carolina
                                D
Where the moon hangs bright and low
C G/B D/A            G     C

The days are shorter and the nights are long

The hours go crawlin' by
C G/B D/A          G       C
Oh,        hang my head and cry
        D              G
How I'm longin' for my darlin'
  G                         C          G
I keep on listenin' for our key in the door
                       D
While I drive myself insane
C G/B D/A       G         C
Oh,       in my arms once more
               D             G
The world will be set right again

Em                       C       G
