CAPO 3 




INTRO:  G 

VERSE: 

G                         C               G 
Somewhere in the mountains in northern Alabama 
G                 Em                    Am         D7  D 
The Carolina lady waits for her man from Tennessee 
G                   C           G    Em 
Somewhere in a motel out in Oklahoma 
            Am              D 
There's the Alabama dreamer  
                         G     Bm-Am-G    
That same man from Tennessee 

VERSE: 

G                     C                     G 
Sometime late at night the lonely wakes her gently 
G                     Em                   Am   D7   D 
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                    D                  G    Gsus  G7   
She thinks of making love  and goes to sleep again 

CHORUS: 

    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 
       D 
That I kiss and tell goodnight 
    Am   D          G     Bm-Am-G   C#m-Bm-A 
Carolina,  mountain dewe 


VERSE:  

A                      D                 A 
 Sometime that next day on a Mississippi freeway 
                   F#m            Bm     Esus4 E 
The Alabama dreamer   is homeward bound 
    A                     D                           A    F#m 
His conscious is as clear,  as those green eyes of Carolina 
          Bm                             E 
And she's waiting with the baby from the love 
                           A       A7 
Of the only man to lay her down 

CHORUS:

Carolina, dreamin'lonely 
    D               A 
Carolina, can't you see 
         D             C#m 
You will always be the lady 
       Bm 
That I dream of holding tight 
       E 
That I kiss and tell goodnight 

    Bm   E          A 
Carolina,  mountain dewe 
    Bm   E        A    G  D/F#  D A 
Carolina,  I love you
