Intro: ABmAEDE
Sometimes I think about you
F#mEA
Wonder if you’re out there somewhere thinkin’ ‘bout me
DE
And would you even recognize
F#mEA
the woman that your little girl has grown up to be
DA
Cause I look in the mirror and all I see
BmA
are your brown eyes lookin’ back at me
DAE
They’re the only thing you ever gave to me at all
ABmAE
Oh, I hear the weather’s nice in California
DEA
There’s sunny skies as far as eye can see
ABmAE
If you ever come back home to Carolina
DEABmAE
I wonder what you’d say to me
DE
I think about how it ain’t fair
F#mEA
that you weren’t there to braid my hair like mothers do
DE
You weren’t around to cheer me on
F#mEA
Help me dress for my high school prom like mother’s do
DABmA
Did you think I didn’t need you here to hold my hand, to dry my tears
DAE
Did you even miss me through the years at all?
ABmAE
Oh, I hear the weather’s nice in California
DEA
There’s sunny skies as far as eye can see
ABmAE
If you ever come back home to Carolina
DEA
I wonder what you’d say to me
F#mDA
Forgiveness is such a simple word
BmA
But it’s so hard to do
E
When you’ve been hurt
ABmAE
Oh, I hear the weather’s nice in California
DEA
And just in case you’re wonderin’ about me
ABmAE
From now on I won’t be in Carolina
DE
Your little girl is off,
F#mBm
your little girl is off,
DE
your little girl is off
ABmAEDEA
