πΈ Verse 1:
Bm
Oh Carolina creeks
A Em
Running through my veins
Em A
Lost I was born, lonesome I came
Bm
Lonesome I'll always stay
Bm
Carolina knows
A Em
Why for years I roam
Em A
Free as these birds, light as whispers
Bm
Carolina knows
πΈ Chorus:
Bm
And you didn't see me here
Bm
No, they never did see me here
D A Em
And she's in my dreams
Em D
Into the mist, into the clouds
A Em
Don't leave
Em D
I make a fist
I make it count
A Em
And there are places I will never, ever go
Bm A Em Bm
And things that only Carolina will ever know
πΈ Verse 2:
Bm A Em
Carolina stains on the dress she left
Em A
Indelible scars, pivotal marks
Bm
Blue as the life she fled
Bm A Em
Carolina pines, won't you cover me?
Em A
Hide me like robes down the back road
Bm
Muddy these webs we weave
πΈ Bridge:
Bm
And you didn't see me here
A
They never saw me
πΈ Verse 3:
Bm A Em
Oh Carolina knows why for years they've said
Em A
That I was guilty as sin
Bm
And sleep in a liar's bed
Bm
But the sleep comes fast
A Em
And I'll meet no ghosts
Em A
It's between me, the sand and the sea
Bm
Carolina knows
