Intro: *Start by strumming E*
       E5    A5     B(1) 
       E5    A5     B(1)
       E5    A5     B5      B(1)  
       A5    A5       E5 

              B5 (2 fr.)                                       E5
Oh my darlin' don't you cry, just hold my hand a while before I die
                          B5 (2 fr.)                                       E5
We've seen so many places you and I, we made the most we've traveled far and wide
                       B5 (2 fr.)                              E5
And even now if I just close my eyes, I am reminded of a certain time
                               B (2 fr.)
We lost the trail on old North Caroline, and spent the night
                             A(1)               E5
in the full moonlight, fast asleep holding each other tight

                         A (2 fr.)                                 B (2 fr.)
And in the early morning hours, woke up in fields with golden flowers
               A5                                          F5                  B5 (2 fr.)          E5
Settled near a wild oak tree, as he was stretching out his arms to breathe the air


*Repeat intro*

                  B5 (2 fr.)                              E5
If I just close my eyes, I am reminded of a certain time
                               B (2 fr.)
We lost the trail on old North Caroline, and spent the night
     A(1)                E5
fast asleep holding each other tight

                         A (2 fr.)                           B (2 fr.)
And in the early morning hours, I've never seen so many flowers
               A5                                          F5                 
Settled near a wise old tree, and as he stretches out his arms its me 
   B5 (2 fr.)    A(1)   E5
he carries on the summer breeze
