[Bm]
Verse 1
Oh, Caro[Bm]Carolina creeks running [A]through my [Em]veins
Lost I was [Em]born, lonesome I [A]came
Lonesome I'll [Bm]always stay
Caro[Bm]Carolina knows why, for [A]years, I [Em]roam
Free as these [Em]birds, light as whis[A]whispers
Caro[Bm]Carolina knows
Pre-Chorus
And [Bm]you didn't see me here
No, they [Bm]never did see me here
And she's [D]in [A]my [Em]dreams
Chorus
Into the [Em]mist, into the [D]clouds
[A]Don't [Em]leave
I make a [Em]fist, I'll make it [D]count
And there are [A]places I will [Em]never, ever go
[Bm] And things that [A]only Caro[Em]Carolina will ever [Bm]know
Instrumental
[Bm] [A] [Em] [Em] [A] [Bm]
Verse 2
Caro[Bm]Carolina stains on the [A]dress she [Em]left
Indelible [Em]scars, pivotal [A]marks
Blue as the [Bm]life she fled
Caro[Bm]Carolina pines, won't you [A]cover [Em]me?
Hide me like [Em]robes down the back [A]road
Muddy these [Bm]webs we weave
Pre-Chorus
And [Bm]you didn't see me here
Oh, they [Bm]never did see me here
And she's [D]in [A]my [Em]dreams
Chorus
Into the [Em]mist, into the [D]clouds
[A]Don't [Em]leave
I make a [Em]fist, I'll make it [D]count
And there are [A]places I will [Em]never, ever go
[Bm] And things that [A]only Caro[Em]Carolina will ever [D]know [A] [Em]
Instrumental
[D] [A] [Em] [D] [A] [Em]
[D] [A] [Em] [Em]
Refrain
And [Bm]you didn't see me here
They [A]never did see me here
No, [Em]you didn't see me here
They [A]never saw me
Verse 3
Oh, Caro[Bm]Carolina knows why for [A]years they've [Em]said
That I was [Em]guilty as [A]sin and sleep in a [Bm]liar's bed
But the [Bm]sleep comes fast and I'll [A]meet no [Em]ghosts
It's between [Em]me, the sand, and the [A]sea
Caro[Bm]Carolina knows
