[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.
