^CBack in those hills oh ^Fslow rollin' hills Where ^CNorth Carolina comes ^Gclose to the stars There's ^Clivin' a lady she's ^Fshinin' so high They ^Gcall her the "Carolina ^CStar"

^CShe works at the factory from ^FMonday through Friday She's ^Craisin' three daughters a^Glone Their ^Cdaddy's away, he's ^Fchasing a dream They're ^Gwaitin' for the day that ^Che comes home

[Chorus]

^GOh, Caro^Fli^Cna Even ^Fstars get ^Glonesome now and ^Cthen ^GOh, Caro^Fli^Cna Don't you ^Fworry, he'll be ^Gcomin' home ^Cagain

[Solo] C F C G C F G C [Verse]

^CHe's playin' his songs stand in ^FNashville He's ^Cpickin' for tips in a ^Gbar He's ^Cbroke and all alone, but he ain't ^Fready to come home Where he ^Gwants to be a bluegrass pickin' ^Cstar

[Chorus]

^GOh, Caro^Fli^Cna Even ^Fstars get ^Glonesome now and ^Cthen ^GOh, Caro^Fli^Cna Don't you ^Fworry, he'll be ^Gcomin' home ^Cagain

[Solo] C F C G C F G C [Verse]

^CSometimes she wakes up just ^Fthinking of him She ^Cremembers him beside her in the ^Gnight ^CWhile out across those hills that old ^Fmoon is settled in And those ^GCarolina stars are shining ^Cbright

[Chorus]

^GOh, Caro^Fli^Cna Even ^Fstars get ^Glonesome now and ^Cthen ^GOh, Caro^Fli^Cna Don't you ^Fworry, he'll be ^Gcomin' home ^Cagain

[Outro]

^FYes he loves you and he's ^Gcomin' home ^Cagain.
