A D A
Somewhere in the mountains in northern Alabama
A F#m Bm E7
The Carolina lady waits for her man from Tennessee
A D A F#m
Somewhere in a motel out in Oklahoma
F#m Bm E7
There's the Alabama dreamer
E7 A
That same man from Tennessee
A D A
Sometime late at night the lonely wakes her gently
A F#m Bm E7
And knocks at her door but she won't give in
A D A F#m
But like every other woman she needs to feel wanted
Bm E7 A A7
She thinks of making love and goes to sleep again
D C#m A7
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
E7
That I kiss and tell goodnight
Bm E7 A
Carolina mountain dew
A D A
Sometime that next day on a Mississippi freeway
A F#m Bm E7
The Alabama dreamer is homeward bound
A D A F#m
His conscious is as clear as those green eyes of Carolina
Bm E7
And she's waiting with the baby from the love
E7 A A7
Of the only man to lay her down
D C#m A7
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
E7
That I kiss and tell goodnight
Bm E7 A
Carolina mountain dew
Bm E7 A
Carolina I love you
