Carolina Mountain Dew

Carolina Mountain Dew
Recorded by Alabama
Written by Randy Owen


G                          C              G
Somewhere in the mountains in northern Alabama
                  Em                     Am        D7
The Carolina lady waits for her man from Tennessee
G                    C          G    Em
Somewhere in a motel out in Oklahoma
            Am              D7
There's the Alabama dreamer
                        G
That same man from Tennessee

                       C                    G
Sometime late at night the lonely wakes her gently
                       Em                 Am  D7
And knocks at her door but she won't give in
         G                 C                 G      Em
But like every other woman she needs to feel wanted
    Am                    D7                G     G7
She thinks of making love and goes to sleep again

    C             Bm    G7
Carolina dreamin' lonely
    C              G
Carolina can't you see
         C             Bm
You will always be the lady
       Am
That I dream of holding tight
       D7
That I kiss and tell goodnight
    Am   D7       G
Carolina mountain dew

                       C                 G
Sometime that next day on a Mississippi freeway
                    Em          Am     D7
The Alabama dreamer is homeward bound
    G                     C                          G    Em
His conscious is as clear as those green eyes of Carolina
          Am                             D7
And she's waiting with the baby from the love
                           G    G7
Of the only man to lay her down

Repeat #3

    Am   D7     G
Carolina I love you
