Caroline Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 They say you were Dborn in St. Claire’s hospital

GI say you were born up in the Dsky

 You come Dfloatin’ down over New Orleans

 To the Gsweet green levee on the riversideD

 And your Avoice chirped like old squeaky shoes

 And Gmomma always said we had nothing to lose

DAnd so we Adanced on the street corGner

Chorus

 Oh DCarolGine (Caroline)

GHeartbroken hard times, they never Dgot us down

GWalkin’ the same line through Devery single Bmsouthern town

AHand in hand your arm ‘round mine

 Oh CaroGlinDe

 Oh DCarolGine (Caroline)

 I Gseen it all change, watch it Dchange some more

GSeen hard times standin’ Dright outside your Bmdoor

ATell me girl what’s on your mind

 Oh GCarolDine

We were the Cardinal’s biggest fans

Turnin’ flips like Ozzy Smith all through the night

‘Til we got traded away

To the Red Clay Southern League up on the Georgia line

You could be the pitcher and the catcher too

I’m the home run king before his muscles grew

Gonna knock the cover off this town

Chorus

These are different days

And the pace of the world has us thinking there’s

No time to turn the other way

Take my hand and we’ll walk on down the line

Though we may be a thousand miles apart

A brother and a sister have a single heart

And the beat don’t stop for nothin’.

Chorus
