Capo 2nd fret

Drop D

Repeat this pattern throughout except for bridge

Caroline my baby Caroline my sweet

If I marry Caroline how happy I would be

I wouldn’t need no whiskey I wouldn’t need no wine

I wouldn’t need much of anything if Caroline was mine

Her daddy is a preacher and may he rot in hell

I’d sell my soul to satan for a bucket from your well

Cuz I know that he don’t like me and I know he’ll disapprove

But I’m going to marry caroline if it’s the last thing that I do

Breakdown – C & D back and forth

Well if I was a painter I’d put you down in paint

I’d hang you by the mona lisa and put that girl to shame

Or if I was a sailor and sailed the seven seas

I’d roll across the ocean just to bring you home with me.

Oh caroline my baby oh caroline my sweet

You make a man go crazy why won’t you come to me

Cuz I’ve been feeling lonesome and feelin kinda blue

I think I’d rather die than to be away from you

Bridge or whatever

 She said boy you know you’ve caught my eye

 And I know you’re sweeter than apple pie

 But I like my men completely wild

So baby keep on tryin – oh oh oh oh
