Chords

[Verse 1]
C                                    G
Growing tall and strong across that old north state

         F          C                  Am                G
From the Great Smoky Mountains, to the edge of the Outer Banks

C                                    G
If they could tell all secrets, well you'd hear plenty of mine

        F           G                    C
Carried on the wind through the Carolina Pines
[Verse 2]
C                                         G
They saw daddy show me how to drive them old back roads

F                  C                            Am               G
Kept me and grandpa cool in their shade at the lake by our honey hole

           C                                   G
And they waved goodbye behind momma when Uncle Sam called me to fight

         F                G             C
For the stars and stripes, and Carolina Pines
[Chorus 1]
       F                 G                  C                  F
I can hear that southern wind somehow right now calling out my name

F                    G              C
Boots in the sand a thousand miles away

            F                G               Am         G      F
I can still see that barefoot boy, running 'round in grandma's yard

       Dm                        G
Tryna catch up to the man I am today
[Verse 3]
C                                     G
One day they'll see her crying when I hit one knee

     F                C               Am               G
And watch our little family grow from two hearts into three

        C              G                      Am     G       F
They'll whisper on the same old song, that'll always help me find

            F    G               C
My way back home to the Carolina Pines
[Chorus 2]
       F               G                       C                   F
I can hear that southern breeze somehow right now calling out her name

         F               G               C
See her blue eyes cryin' in that desert rain

             F               G             Am        G    F
I can still see a homegrown girl, clear as lightning in a jar

    Dm                            G
And I know she's the keeper of my heart.
[Acoustic Solo] [Chorus 3]
        F               G               C               F
When I close my eyes I see my kids out barefoot in the yard

          F                   G              C
From the porch swing where I pick this old guitar

             F              G              Am     G       F
When their momma sits down beside me with forever in her eyes

Dm                            G
I thank God for one hell of a life

                    C
Under the Carolina Pines
