Somewhere in the mountains in northern Alabama
B G#m C#m F#7
The Carolina lady waits for her man from Tennessee
B E B G#m
Somewhere in a motel out in Oklahoma
G#m C#m F#7
There's the Alabama dreamer
F#7 B
That same man from Tennessee
B E B
Sometime late at night the lonely wakes her gently
B G#m C#m F#7
And knocks at her door but she won't give in
B E B G#m
But like every other woman she needs to feel wanted
C#m F#7 B B7
She thinks of making love and goes to sleep again
E D#m B7
Carolina dreamin' lonely
E B
Carolina can't you see
E D#m
You will always be the lady
C#m
That I dream of holding tight
F#7
That I kiss and tell goodnight
C#m F#7 B
Carolina mountain dew
B E B
Sometime that next day on a Mississippi freeway
B G#m C#m F#7
The Alabama dreamer is homeward bound
B E B G#m
His conscious is as clear as those green eyes of Carolina
C#m F#7
And she's waiting with the baby from the love
F#7 B B7
Of the only man to lay her down
E D#m B7
Carolina dreamin' lonely
E B
Carolina can't you see
E D#m
You will always be the lady
C#m
That I dream of holding tight
F#7
That I kiss and tell goodnight
C#m F#7 B
Carolina mountain dew
C#m F#7 B
Carolina I love you
