Caroline - Otis Gibbs

Capo - 3

D MajorD            A augmentedA    E minorEm           G+G
With her brother in the kitchen, breaking green beans in half
D MajorD                 A augmentedA   E minorEm             G+G
While her father worked in a coal mine, doing chores he'd left for them
D MajorD           A augmentedA            E minorEm          G+G
I say her momma left, and took the family car, on a cold midwestern evening
D MajorD          A augmentedA    E minorEm                G+G
She left everything behind, searching for , a little piece of mind
E minorEm           A7A7
Somewhere on the other side....

Chorus:
D MajorD     F# minorF#m      B minorBm           G+G
Caroline, Caroline......lives her life inside a daydream
D MajorD          A augmentedA        E minorEm        G+G
And she keeps it all inside, all the pain, she has to hide,
E minorEm             A7A7       D MajorD
All the boys would stand in line......for Caroline

D MajorD           A augmentedA   E minorEm              G+G
When the daughter of a miner, loved the boy from down the road
D MajorD         A augmentedA    E minorEm        G+G
At sixteen she was wedded, he was 24 years old
D MajorD             A augmentedA             E minorEm
Well the checks were small, and the debts were large
             G+G
And it seemed he'd never work
D MajorD             A augmentedA        E minorEm          G+G
He had a problem with the bottle, he'd get drunk, and she'd get hurt
E minorEm          A7A7
Lonely depressed and insecure....

D MajorD     F# minorF#m      B minorBm           G+G
Caroline, Caroline......lives her life inside a daydream
D MajorD          A augmentedA        E minorEm        G+G
And she keeps it all inside, all the pain, she has to hide,
E minorEm             A7A7       D MajorD
All the boys would stand in line......for Caroline

D MajorD         A augmentedA   E minorEm            G+G
Living in a motel room, sleeping double across 2 beds
D MajorD             A augmentedA     E minorEm             G+G
She tries not to wake the children, tangled in her long black hair
D MajorD             A augmentedA            E minorEm          G+G
She dreams of leaving him, and putting him in jail, high walls and iron bars
D MajorD            A augmentedA        E minorEm        G+G
She read the sins of the father, will be visited, upon the son
E minorEm               A augmentedA
She lives in fear of things to come.....

D MajorD     F# minorF#m     B minorBm           G+G
Caroline, Caroline.....lives her life inside a daydream
D MajorD          A augmentedA        E minorEm        G+G
And she keeps it all inside, all the pain, she has to hide,
E minorEm            A7A7    D MajorD
Peace will be with you in time.....Caroline
