_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
It's _ _ _ _ _ _ a lonesome road [F] and a hard way to live, _ [C] but it's the only life [G] that I know.
_ I meet some people, I [F] travel around, [F] _ [C] but home's always the best place [G] to go.
_ And it's [F] a [C] lonesome feeling in [G] my mind, [F] a feeling that [C] I can't [G] leave behind.
_ _ [F] _ [C] Carolina's where I'm at, [G] and I'll always hang [Em] my head [Dm] under those [C] blue red smiles.

[G] _ Well, I got me a [F] woman back home, _ _ [C] _ she gave me a [G] baby too.
_ And she stands by my [F]
loving side _ [C] and does anything [G] I ask her to.
And [F] it's a [C] lonesome feeling [G] in my mind, _ [F] a feeling I [C] can't seem to leave [G] behind.
_ _ [F] Carolina's [C] where I'm at, [G] and I'll always hang [Em] my head under those [E] blue [C] red smiles. _ _ _ _ _ _

[G] _ There's an old man sitting in a rocking chair, who's got the best beagle dog in the county I've ever known.
But his shotgun done got too rusty.
_ That old beagle dog, he done grown a little too old.
As he stares up into heaven, _ I'm sure [C] I know the [G] reason why.
_ He's a-thinking about that promised land in them blue orange mountain skies.
And it's [F] a [C] lonesome feeling in [G] my mind, [F] a feeling I [C] can't seem to leave [G]
behind.
_ _ [F] Carolina's where [C] I'm at, and [G] I'll always hang [Em] my head under those [C] blue red smiles.
