D A D A
[Verse 1]
D
In Carolina
A
There were pictures on the wall
D
And the pain is lighter
A
The house is empty now and only shadows fall
[Chorus]
G
And when you cross over
D
I hope she's waiting there for you
G
When you cross over
D
Please know that I'll always love you
G
When you cross over
D
Into the spaces in the blue
D/F#
When you cross over
G
I hope your pain returns into the light
A D
When you cross over tonight
[Verse 2]
D
My brother
A
Born in Alabama just as winter calmed
D
My family moved to Carolina
A
In the shadows of the pines and lumberyards
[Chorus]
G
And when you cross over
D
I hope they're waiting there for you
G
When you cross over
D
Please know that I'll always love you
G
When you cross over
D
Into the spaces in the blue
D/F# G
And may your pain return into the light
A D
When you cross over tonight
[Bridge]
Bm D G A
I know you didn't wanna leave this way
Bm D
I know you tried your best to hide it
G A
I'm gonna love you now, anyway
[Verse 3]
D
In Carolina
A Asus A
Roses bloom beside the house
D
Your brother and your sister, your mother and your father
A
All of your friends gather around
[Chorus]
G
And when you cross over
D
I hope they're waiting there for you
G
When you cross over
D
Please know that I'll always love you
G
When you cross over
D
To the space between the blue
D/F# G
And all the pain dissolves into the light
A D
When you cross over tonight
