Carolina

C                    Am        C
  The sweet smell of nighttime  
               Am
  rides on the breeze
C              Am       F       
  The river is winding    
              C
through the hickory trees
C                  Am      C    
  The redbones are howling    
           Am
down by Wilson's Bridge
C                  Am       F   
  The lawmen stand waiting    
              Am
upon Deadman's  Ridge.

[Chorus]

F    C         G                 
 Ooh Carolina,    so dark I can't 
 Am
see
F    C         G                
 Ooh Carolina,   won't you let 
     Am
me go free

[Verse]

C                 Am    C       
 I came here with Lily    a year
           Am
 just last fall
C                Am    F        
 We left her old daddy    back 
      C
in Donegal
C             Am         C      
 We made us a home place    of 
              Am
Black Mountain stone
C                    Am      F  
 But one cold winter morning    
           Am
I woke up alone

C             Am       C        
 Days full of silence     are so
      Am
 incomplete
C               Am    F         
 Nights without Lily    I took 
      C
to the streets
C                      Am       
 And in the streets of Ashville 
C                 Am
   I channeled my pain
C               Am          F   
 Til one raging black night     
              C
I slept in the rain

[Verse]

D               Bm      D       
 I dreamed of a refuge    a red 
       Bm
velvet world
D                     Bm    G   
 And I swore my sweet Lily    
            D
was on of the girls
D               Bm     D        
 I loved her so madly     I 
         Bm
loved her so long
D               Bm          G   
 I woke with my dream girl    
                   Bm
but her life was all gone

 Ooh Carolina,   won't you let

D            Bm       D          
 Love has no boundary    sorrow 
  Bm
no end
D                  Bm       G   
 And the lawmen of Ashville   
               D
have no mercy in them

[Chorus]
