G D7
She came to me said she knew me
C G
Said she'd known me a long time
Am Bm
And she talked of being in love
C G
With every mountain she had climbed.
G D7
And she talked of trails she'd walked up
C G
Far above the timberline
Am Bm
From that night on I knew I'd write songs
C G C G
For Carolina in the pines.
G D7
There's a full moon on the fourteenth
C G
First quarter twenty-first
Am Bm
And a full moon in the last week
C G
Brings a fullness to the earth.
G D7
There's no guess work in the clockwork
C G
Of the world's heart or mine
Am Bm
There are nights I only feel right
C G C G
With Carolina in the pines.
G D7
As the frost grows on the windows
C G
The wood stove smokes and glows
Am Bm
As the fire glows we can warm our souls
C G
Makin' rainbows in the coals.
G D7
And we talk of trails we walk up
C G
Far above the timberline
Am Bm
There are nights I only feel right
C G C G
With Carolina in the pines.
