D G D
Somewhere in the mountains in northern Alabama
D Bm Em A7
The Carolina lady waits for her man from Tennessee
D G D Bm
Somewhere in a motel out in Oklahoma
Bm Em A7
There's the Alabama dreamer
A7 D
That same man from Tennessee
D G D
Sometime late at night the lonely wakes her gently
D Bm Em A7
And knocks at her door but she won't give in
D G D Bm
But like every other woman she needs to feel wanted
Em A7 D D7
She thinks of making love and goes to sleep again
G F#m D7
Carolina dreamin' lonely
G D
Carolina can't you see
G F#m
You will always be the lady
Em
That I dream of holding tight
A7
That I kiss and tell goodnight
Em A7 D
Carolina mountain dew
D G D
Sometime that next day on a Mississippi freeway
D Bm Em A7
The Alabama dreamer is homeward bound
D G D Bm
His conscious is as clear as those green eyes of Carolina
Em A7
And she's waiting with the baby from the love
A7 D D7
Of the only man to lay her down
G F#m D7
Carolina dreamin' lonely
G D
Carolina can't you see
G F#m
You will always be the lady
Em
That I dream of holding tight
A7
That I kiss and tell goodnight
Em A7 D
Carolina mountain dew
Em A7 D
Carolina I love you
