[Verse]
C                      F
Back in those hills oh slow rollin' hills
      C                    G
Where North Carolina comes close to the stars
        C                   F
There's livin' a lady she's shinin' so high
     G                      C
They call her the "Carolina Star"

C                             F
She works at the factory from Monday through Friday
      C                        G
She's raisin' three daughters alone
      C                  F
Their daddy's away, he's chasing a dream
        G                        C
They're waitin' for the day that he comes home

[Chorus]
G       F C
Oh, Carolina
     F         G                C
Even stars get lonesome now and then
G       F C
Oh, Carolina
          F               G           C
Don't you worry, he'll be comin' home again

[Verse]
C                               F
He's playin' his songs stand in Nashville
     C                     G
He's pickin' for tips in a bar
     C                                 F
He's broke and all alone, but he ain't ready to come home
         G                               C
Where he wants to be a bluegrass pickin' star

[Chorus]
G       F C
Oh, Carolina
     F         G                C
Even stars get lonesome now and then
G       F C
Oh, Carolina
          F               G           C
Don't you worry, he'll be comin' home again

[Verse]
C                           F
Sometimes she wakes up just thinking of him
    C                               G
She remembers him beside her in the night
C                                     F
While out across those hills that old moon is settled in
          G                          C
And those Carolina stars are shining bright

[Chorus]
G       F C
Oh, Carolina
     F         G                C
Even stars get lonesome now and then
G       F C
Oh, Carolina
          F               G           C
Don't you worry, he'll be comin' home again

[Outro]
F                         G           C
Yes he loves you and he's comin' home again.
