The Carolinian chords

[D]We met on The Carolini[G]an ? headi[D]ng south from D.C.
[D]It?s as if God [G]himself had pi[A]cked out our seats
[G]She smiled and said ?Rich[D]mond? when I a[A]sked where she was bound
[D]I began to wish my [Bm]life away to have [G]been born [A]in that [D]town

[D]We talked a little bit and[G] then she[D] smiled, I saw down in her eyes
[D]She wasn?t just beauti[G]ful, she w[A]as kind and she was wise
[G]But a woman down in Rale[D]igh, would[A] soon have my son
So I wa[D]ited for her stat[Bm]ion lik[G]e the [A]bullet [D]from a gun

[D]She?s in Richmond [A]with my heart -
[G]And I?[A]m boun[D]d for Carolina
[D]Wish I?d never[A] met this train
[G]or th[A]e girl tha[D]t?s left behind her

[D]When the train reached th[G]e station, she lo[D]oked me in the eye
[D]Said, ?Come with me to Richmon[G]d and we?ll st[A]art a brand new life?
[G]Well you know that mo[D]ment still wei[A]ghs on my mind
?Cause I[D] took my body t[Bm]o Raleigh, and[G] left my [A]heart b[D]ehind

[D]She?s in Richmond [A]with my heart -
[G]And I?[A]m boun[D]d for Carolina
[D]Wish I?d never[A] met this train
[G]or th[A]e girl tha[D]t?s left behind her-
[Bm]now we?re ap[G]art
[G]While I?m bound fo[A]r Caroline[A] - she?s in Richmond wi[D]th my heart

[D]My son is grown up to my h[G]and, and h[D]e fills me with pride
[D]I take him down to the [G]station to watc[A]h the trains roll by
[G]But that northbound Caro[D]linian always [A]makes the teardrops start
Caus[D]e its heade[Bm]d up to Vi[G]rginia wher[A]e I left m[D]y heart

[D]She?s in Richmond [A]with my heart -
[G]And I?[A]m boun[D]d for Carolina
[D]Wish I?d never[A] met this train
[G]or th[A]e girl tha[D]t?s left behind her-
[Bm]now we?re ap[G]art
[G]While I?m bound fo[A]r Caroline[A] - she?s in Richmond wi[D]th my heart
I?m still down in Caroline, she?s in Richmond with my heart
