[Verse]
C                      F
Back in those hills oh slow rollin' 
hills
      C                    G
Where North Carolina comes close to 
the stars
        C                   F
There's livin' a lady she's shinin' 
so high
     G                      C
They call her the "Carolina Star"

C                             F
She works at the factory from Monday
 through Friday
      C                        G
She's raisin' three daughters alone
      C                  F
Their daddy's away, he's chasing a 
dream
        G                        C
They're waitin' for the day that he 
comes home

[Chorus]
G       F C
Oh, Carolina
     F         G                C
Even stars get lonesome now and then
G       F C
Oh, Carolina
Continues after the ad
          F               G    
Don't you worry, he'll be comin' 
       C
home again

[Verse]
C                             
He's playin' his songs stand in 
  F
Nashville
     C                     G
He's pickin' for tips in a bar
     C                          
He's broke and all alone, but he 
       F
ain't ready to come home
         G                      
Where he wants to be a bluegrass 
         C
pickin' star

[Chorus]
G       F C
Oh, Carolina
     F         G                C
Even stars get lonesome now and then
G       F C
Oh, Carolina
          F               G    
Don't you worry, he'll be comin' 
       C
home again

[Verse]
C                           F
Sometimes she wakes up just thinking
 of him
    C                              
She remembers him beside her in the
 G
 night
C                                 
While out across those hills that 
    F
old moon is settled in
          G                        
And those Carolina stars are 
  C
shining bright

[Chorus]
G       F C
Oh, Carolina
     F         G                C
Even stars get lonesome now and then
G       F C
Oh, Carolina
          F               G    
Don't you worry, he'll be comin' 
       C
home again

[Other]
F                         G      
Yes he loves you and he's comin' 
     C
home again.
