D
They say 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 chirped like old squeaky 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 single southern town
A
Hand in hand your arm ‘round mine
G D
Oh Caroline
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
Tell me girl what’s on your mind
G D
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 brother and a sister have a single heart
And the beat don’t stop for nothin’.
Chorus
Perfect chords. There are two versions of the song, the other version has slightly different lyrics though
the fifth line is: and your voice shined like your sunday shoes
third line of the chorus:walking the same line through every shady southern town
fifth line of chorus: Oh caroline, you'll do just fine
after that line the chorus ends.
2nd verse:
we were the gas house gang
i'll be ozzie smith, you be sara my wife
till we got traded away
to the red clay league somewhere along the georga line
you be the pitcher and the catcher too
im the homerun king 'fore his muscles grew
gonna knock the cover off this time
3rd verse:
well i called you the other day
it sounded like you'd been up all night crying
i used to wonder if we had really run away when they discovered what we were hiding
well there aint no way we could be so free as we were back in '83
so whats the use of even trying
last chorus:
oh caroline
seen it all change and watch it change some more
seen hard times standing right outside your door
but i'd say you'll do just fine, you'll do just fine
oh caroline
