Bm A Em
Oh, Carolina creeks running through my veins
Em A
Lost I was born, lonesome I came
Bm
Lonesome Iʼll always stay
Bm A Em
Carolina knows why, for years, I roam
Em A
Free as these birds, light as whispers
Bm
Carolina knows
Pre-Chorus: Bm
And you didnʼt see me here
Bm
No, they never did see me here
D A Em
And sheʼs in my dreams
Chorus: Em D
Into the mist, into the clouds
A Em
Donʼt leave
Em D
I make a fist, Iʼll make it count
A Em
And there are places I will never, ever go
Bm A Em Bm
And things that only Carolina will ever know
Bm A Em
Carolina stains on the dress she left
Em A
Indelible scars, pivotal marks
Bm
Blue as the life she fled
Bm A Em
Carolina pines, wonʼt you cover me?
Em A
Hide me like robes down the back road
Bm
Muddy these webs we weave
Pre-Chorus: Bm
And you didnʼt see me here
Bm
Oh, they never did see me here
D A Em
And sheʼs in my dreams
Chorus: Em D
Into the mist, into the clouds
A Em
Donʼt leave
Em D
I make a fist, Iʼll make it count
A Em
And there are places I will never, ever go
Bm A Em D
And things that only Carolina will ever know

No, you didnʼt see me here

They never saw me
Bm A Em
Oh, Carolina knows why for years theyʼve said
Em A Bm
That I was guilty as sin and sleep in a liarʼs bed
Bm A Em
But the sleep comes fast and Iʼll meet no ghosts
Em A Bm
Itʼs between me, the sand, and the sea Carolina knows
