Introdução:
D G D
We met on The Carolinian ? heading south from D.C.
D G A
It's as if God himself had picked out our seats
G D A
She smiled and said ?Richmond? when I asked where she was bound
D Bm G A D
I began to wish my life away to have been born in that town
D G D
We talked a little bit and then she smiled, I saw down in her eyes
D G A
She wasn?t just beautiful, she was kind and she was wise
G D A
But a woman down in Raleigh, would soon have my son
D Bm G A D
So I waited for her station like the bullet from a gun
D A
She?s in Richmond with my heart -
G A D
And I'm bound for Carolina
D A
Wish I?d never met this train
G A D
or the girl that?s left behind her
D G D
When the train reached the station, she looked me in the eye
D G A
Said, ?Come with me to Richmond and we?ll start a brand new life?
G D A
Well you know that moment still weighs on my mind
D Bm G A D
?Cause I took my body to Raleigh, and left my heart behind
D A
She?s in Richmond with my heart -
G A D
And I'm bound for Carolina
D A
Wish I?d never met this train
G A D
or the girl that?s left behind her-
Bm G
now we're apart
G A D
While I'm bound for Caroline - she?s in Richmond with my heart
D G D
My son is grown up to my hand, and he fills me with pride
D G A
I take him down to the station to watch the trains roll by
G D A
But that northbound Carolinian always makes the teardrops start
D Bm G A D
Cause its headed up to Virginia where I left my heart
D A
She?s in Richmond with my heart -
G A D
And I'm bound for Carolina
D A
Wish I?d never met this train
G A D
or the girl that?s left behind her-
Bm G
now we're apart
G A D
While I'm bound for Caroline - she?s in Richmond with my heart
I'm still down in Caroline, she?s in Richmond with my heart
