CAROLINE BY THE OLD CROW MEDICINE SHOW

I found some tabs of this song, wich were essentially the right chords but played
the wrong way, so here is my version of the song.


play with the capo on the first fret, just the normal open chords, in relation to the capo.
(so with the capo the c should be: (032001) the C majorC played is actually a D MajorD but OCMS
plays it with capo)

         C majorC
They say you were born in St. Claire’s hospital
C majorC
I say you were born up in the sky
     C majorC
You come floatin’ down over New Orleans
    C majorC
To the sweet green levee on the riverside
     G+G
And your voice chirped like old squeaky shoes
  FF
And momma always said we had nothing to lose
FF
And so we danced on the street corner

CHORUS
  FF
Oh Caroline (Caroline)
C majorC
Heartbroken hard times, they never got us down
A minorAm
Walkin’ the same line through every single southern town
G+G
Hand in hand your arm ‘round mine
    C majorC
Oh Caroline
  FF
Oh Caroline (Caroline)
 C majorC
I seen it all change, watch it change some more
A minorAm
Seen hard times standin’ right outside your door
G+G
Tell me girl what’s on your mind
  C majorC
Oh Caroline

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 augmentedA brother and a sister have a single heart
And the beat don’t stop for nothin’.

Chorus


enjoy playing it, its a great song!
