Goodbye Carolina

[Intro]
Dm

[Verse 1]
Dm                    F
  I dreamed of the day
                            C
That I'd hold you in my arms again
                    G/B
Read you all the letters I wrote,
never sent
Dm                     F
  Give you all the pieces of me
                 C
Put 'em back together
                 G/B
Put 'em back together again
Dm                      F
  Life has a way of writing your story for you
          C                     G/B
And the hero doesn't always get his girl
Dm                                F
  What if you could change the ending
                              C
To the novel they've been writing
               G/B
Leave no resolution

[Chorus]
Dm                 F
  So goodbye Carolina
Dm                              F
  Searched my whole life to find you
Dm
  I hate to leave you
      F
But I hope you'll know
                        C
Where I'm going I'll be seeing you
Dm                           F
  So hold my hand as I'm leaving
Dm                                 F
  Hoped my pain would be enough reason
Dm                         F
  See you on the other side of the Blue Ridge sky
          C
Now I'm going
                        G/B
Hate to tell you goodbye

[Verse 2]
Dm                          F
  Say it takes a selfish man
                            C
To leave on out from his old hometown
                          G/B
Without saying why he's going
Dm                              F
  But you can come take the rest of me
                C
Early in the morning
                     G/B
Tell me your goodbyes
Dm                            F
  Where I'm going I won't have these reminders
              C                       G/B
Of what I lost and what was taken away   from me
Dm                            F
  And I hope you'll understand
                            C
I was a broken man in my own hometown
                   G/B
Need to find my own   peace

[Chorus]
Dm                 F
  So goodbye Carolina
Dm                              F
  Searched my whole life to find you
Dm
  I hate to leave you
      F
But I hope you'll know
                        C
Where I'm going I'll be seeing you
Dm                           F
  So hold my hand as I'm leaving
Dm                                 F
  Hoped my pain would be enough reason
Dm                              F
  I'll see you on the other side of the Blue Ridge sky
        C
Now I'm going
                        G/B
Hate to tell you goodbye
