Hey all, I saw this tab on here and a couple other sites but it had the wrong words and such. So I took the time to put the chords in the right places and correct the lyrics. Hope you enjoy.
D
You were born in St. Claire’s hospital
G D
I say you were born up in the sky
D
You come floatin’ down over New Orleans
G D
To the sweet green levee on the riverside
A
And your voice shined like your Sunday shoes
G
And momma always said we had nothing to lose
D A G
And so we danced on the street corner
Chorus:
D G
Oh Caroline (Caroline)
G D
Heartbroken hard times, they never got us down
G D Bm
Walkin’ the same line through every shady southern town
A G(ring) D
Hand in hand your arm ‘round mine, Caroline you do just fine
D
We were the Gasshouse gang
G D
I’ll be Ozzie Smith you be Sarah my wife
D
‘Til we got traded away
G D
To the Red Clay League somewhere along the Georgia line
A
You’d be the pitcher and the catcher too
G
I’m the home run king ‘fore his muscles grew
D A G
Gonna knock the cover off this time
(Chorus)
D
Well I called you the other day
G D
It sounded like you’d been up all night crying
D
I used to wonder if we
G D
Had really run away would they discover where we were hiding
A
Oh but there ain’t no way we could be so free
G D
as we were back in 83
A G
So what’s the use of even trying
Chorus/Outro
D G
Oh Caroline (Caroline)
G D
I seen it all change, watch it change some more
G D Bm
Seen hard times standin’ right outside your door
A G(ring)
But I’d say you do just fine, you do just fine
D
Oh Caroline
