        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
