A                         E  
I said now, how many times, have you wondered
         A                                E
If that special someone was ever, comin’ along
          A                      E      
Would the minute that you stay, fill my hands
          F#m                                B                   
Like your gone a new song, like your gone a new song


[Chorus]

              A                E   
She was like Colorado, in the mornin’
     A                        E
Tennessee, in the late, afternoon
              A                E
She was like Carolina, in the evenin’
                F#m                      E
Underneath that Smokey, Smokey Mountain moon


[Verse]

               A                 E
You know, it’s been, quite some time
        A                                 E
Since I walked around with such a, happy smile
         A                      E      
But the minute that I held you, in my arms
         F#m                              E
I look forward to every day, knowing that I can say


[Chorus] (Harmonica solo)

              A                E   
She was like Colorado, in the mornin’
     A                        E
Tennessee, in the late, afternoon
              A                E
She was like Carolina, in the evenin’
                F#m                      E
Underneath that Smokey, Smokey Mountain moon


[Verse]

           A                          E 
You know before her, my life, didn’t seem like much
       A                      E
There wasn’t, any ups, only downs
             A                          E
I know it’s hard for you to leave that woman to do 
            F#m
All of that good once my life was upside down
                      E 
She turned all that around


[Chorus]

              A                E   
She was like Colorado, in the mornin’
     A                        E
Tennessee, in the late, afternoon
              A                E
She was like Carolina, in the evenin’
                F#m                      E
Underneath that Smokey, Smokey Mountain moon

              A                E   
She was like Colorado, in the mornin’
     A                        E
Tennessee, in the late, afternoon
              A                E
She was like Carolina, in the evenin’
                F#m                      E
Underneath that Smokey, Smokey Mountain moon

       A                                      E
She’s Carolina, Tennessee, she’s Carolina for me
