C F C
Somewhere in the mountains in northern Alabama
C Am Dm G7
The Carolina lady waits for her man from Tennessee
C F C Am
Somewhere in a motel out in Oklahoma
Am Dm G7
There's the Alabama dreamer
G7 C
That same man from Tennessee
C F C
Sometime late at night the lonely wakes her gently
C Am Dm G7
And knocks at her door but she won't give in
C F C Am
But like every other woman she needs to feel wanted
Dm G7 C C7
She thinks of making love and goes to sleep again
F Em C7
Carolina dreamin' lonely
F C
Carolina can't you see
F Em
You will always be the lady
Dm
That I dream of holding tight
G7
That I kiss and tell goodnight
Dm G7 C
Carolina mountain dew
C F C
Sometime that next day on a Mississippi freeway
C Am Dm G7
The Alabama dreamer is homeward bound
C F C Am
His conscious is as clear as those green eyes of Carolina
Dm G7
And she's waiting with the baby from the love
G7 C C7
Of the only man to lay her down
F Em C7
Carolina dreamin' lonely
F C
Carolina can't you see
F Em
You will always be the lady
Dm
That I dream of holding tight
G7
That I kiss and tell goodnight
Dm G7 C
Carolina mountain dew
Dm G7 C
Carolina I love you
