Tom: G
G C G
Somewhere in the mountains in northern Alabama
G Em Am D7
The Carolina lady waits for her man from Tennessee
G C G Em
Somewhere in a motel out in Oklahoma
Em Am D7
There's the Alabama dreamer
D7 G
That same man from Tennessee
G C G
Sometime late at night the lonely wakes her gently
G Em Am D7
And knocks at her door but she won't give in
G C G Em
But like every other woman she needs to feel wanted
Am D7 G G7
She thinks of making love and goes to sleep again
C Bm G7
Carolina dreamin' lonely
C G
Carolina can't you see
C Bm
You will always be the lady
Am
That I dream of holding tight
D7
That I kiss and tell goodnight
Am D7 G
Carolina mountain dew
G C G
Sometime that next day on a Mississippi freeway
G Em Am D7
The Alabama dreamer is homeward bound
G C G Em
His conscious is as clear as those green eyes of Carolina
Am D7
And she's waiting with the baby from the love
D7 G G7
Of the only man to lay her down
C Bm G7
Carolina dreamin' lonely
C G
Carolina can't you see
C Bm
You will always be the lady
Am
That I dream of holding tight
D7
That I kiss and tell goodnight
Am D7 G
Carolina mountain dew
Am D7 G
Carolina I love you
