Verse 1

G                            D7
She came to me said she knew me
C                          G
Said she'd known me a long time
C                         G
And she spoke of being in love
C                           G
With every mountain she had climbed

Verse 2

D7
And she talked of trails she walked up
C                    G
Far above the timber line
C                                   G
From that night on I knew I'd write songs
C                    G
With Carolina in the pines

Verse 3

D7
There's a new moon on the 14th
C                 G
First quarter the 21st
C                             G
And the full moon in the last week
C                         G
Brings a fullness to this earth

Verse 4

D7
There's no guesswork in the clockwork
C                      G
All the worlds are all mine
C                            G
There are nights I only feel right
C                    G
With Carolina in the pines

Verse 5

D7
When the frost shows on the window
C                             G
And the wood stove smokes and glows
C                              G
As the fire grows we will warm ourselves
C                        G
Watching rainbows in the cold

Verse 6

D7
And we'll talk of trails we walked up
C                    G
Far above the timber line
C                            G
There are nights I only feel right
C                    G
With Carolina in the pines
