Capo 4.
[Intro]
C G D Em C G D
[Verse 1]
C G D Em
It was laying pennies on the rail's and sneaking off to chew Red Man
C G D
It was a Friday night win and followed by a Saturday bruise
C G D Em
It was a first Blue Ribbon my dad and I drank, baptized on Glenville lake
C G D
A tear in our eyes the night we lost all we had to lose
[Chorus]
G
That tobacco town where I grew up
C
The tailgate down on a jacked up truck
Em
A ring we earned cause we owned that state
D
A tombstone with my daddy's name
G
Now the six string dream on a crazy course
C
Has got my compass losing North
Em D C
And I need someone to remind me who I am
C G D Em C G D
Oh, Carolina can
[Verse 2]
C G
It was faded blue denim on Franklin Street
D Em
A "He's Not" buzz, a house band beat
C G D
It was a summer heat dragging me to a fifth year fall
C G
It was classes skipped cause the room couldn't teach
D Em
What we learned three days on Wrightsville beach
C G
With my high school love, short hair
D
And that sweet hometown southern drawl
[Chorus]
G
That tobacco town where I grew up
C
The tailgate down on a jacked up truck
Em
A ring we earned cause we owned that state
D
A tombstone with my daddy's name
G
Now the six string dream on a crazy course
C
Has got my compass losing North
Em D C
And I need someone to remind me who I am
C G D Em C G D
Yeah, Carolina can
[Bridge]
C G
Now two time zones, ten states away
D Em
Another night, another show to play
C G D
Well hey Mr. Taylor, she ain't only on your mind
[Chorus]
G
That tobacco town where I grew up
C
The tailgate down on a jacked up truck
Em
A ring we earned cause we owned that state
D
A tombstone with my daddy's name
G
Now the six string dream on a crazy course
C
Has got my compass losing North
Em D C
And I need someone to remind me who I am
C G D Em C G D C G D Em C G D
Oh, Carolina can (TAG) Carolina can
