Carolina Star Chords by Tony Rice

[E] But when _ [A] they're _ _ _ [E] together_
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Back in those hills, [A] those floral hills,
[E] Where North Carolina [B] comes close to the stars,
[E] There's living a lady, she's [A]
shining so high,
[B] And they call her the [E] Carolina Star.
_ She works at the factory, [A] from Monday through the Friday,
[E] She's raising three [B] daughters alone.
_ [E] Their daddy's away, [A] he's chasing a dream,
[B] And awaiting for the [E] day that he comes home. _ _
[B] _ Oh, _ [E] Carolina, _ even [B] stars get lonesome [E] now and then.
_ [B] Oh, _ _ [A] Carolina, [E] _
[A] don't you worry, [B] he'll be coming [E] home again.
_ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ He's playing his songs [A] down in Nashville,
_ [E] He's picking four tips [B] in a bar, _
[E] He's broken all alone, but [A] he ain't ready to come home,
[B] When he wants to be a bluegrass [E] picking star.
_ _ [B] Oh, _ _ [E] _ Carolina, [A] even stars [B] get lonesome [E] now and then.
_ [B] _ _ Oh, [A] Carolina, [E] _ _ [A] don't you worry, [B] he'll be coming [E] home again. _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _
Sometimes she wakes up [A] just thinking of him,
[E] She remembers him beside her [B] in the line.
_ [E] Way out across those hills, that [A] old moon is setting in,
[B] And those Carolina stars are [E] shining bright.
_ _ [B] _ _ Oh, [E] Carolina, _ _ [A] even stars [B] get lonesome [E] now and then. _ _
[B] Oh, _ _ [A] [E] Carolina, _ [A] don't you worry, [B] he'll be [F#m] coming [E] home again.
_ [A] Yes, he loves you [B] and he's coming [E] home again. _ _
