Carolina (Te Recuerdo) = Carolina (I Remember You) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]The first things I remember are
frosty Carolina mornings
with a cheery fire crackling
in my mama's big [Am]black wood
cook stove.
I remember snowflakes as big as goose
feathers and the moon
the color of new -made [F]coun
try butter
and a night sky like diamonds
against black velvet
reaching from horizon to horizon.
[G]I remember when the biggest problems
in my barefoot life
were sand spurs and red ant hills.
I remember sittin' with [Am]my granddaddy
on the front porch
and watching the last of that [F]magnificent
southern sun
bleed away into the twilight sky.
[C]I remember Sunday school
and kneel at the [Am]cross
and tryin' to [G]imagine what
God looked like.
[F]Sunday dinner, short [C]pants, haircuts,
and a little puppy my daddy brought home
to [G]me, and I remember love.
[F]I remember steam puffin', fire b[C]reathin',
awesome 10 -wheel locomot[Bm]ives,
and the con[G]ductor's [Am]watch looked as big is one of
my grandmother's [G]biscuits.
I remember my [C]mother smiling in a red
[D]and white [C]checkered dress.[G]
And Christmas [D]al ways
seemed so [C]far away.
Yes, I remember you, Carolina,
grand old lady of [G]the South.
I re[C]member you as home.

[Verse 2]
[G]One of the memories
that [Am]stays on my mind
About [F]an old southern
lady that [G]I left behind
Is a ramshackle bridge where
the [Am]deep river winds

[Verse 3]
And [F]an old, too -late blacktop
through the [C]tall peatland[G]s.[Am]

I [G]still remember the [Am]magnolia nights
And [F]goose feather snowflakes
in the [G]grey morning light
Sandspurs and tuppies
and [Am]red autumn leaves
And [F]warm lights in the clear night
on a [C]cold Christmas Eve
[G]Caro[F]lin[C]a.
