Standard Tuning
 
Last line played progressively slower with each syllable.
 
Modulate between D7 and D for the intro by using your pinky for the D keeping the other three fingers still.
 
Capo 4 for the original key, I use capo 2 which I prefer for solo guitar performance.
 
 
[Verse]
 
G                 C
  Where it began,   I can't begin to knowin
G                            D
  But then I know it's going strong
G                    C
  Was it the spring,  and spring became a summer?
G                                  D
  Who’d have believed you'd come a-long?
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G       Em
 Hands,     touching hands
D                        C            D    D  C  D
  Reaching out, touching me, touching you

Sweet Caro-line, 
     C/G   C     C/G       D    D C D
good times never seemed so good

I m in-clined, 
   C/G     C          D
to believe they never would

But   now   I'm
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
G                    C
  Look at the night,   and it don't seem so lonely
G                          D
   We fill it up with only two
G                  C
  And when I hurt,   hurting runs off my shoulder                       
G                             D
  How can I hurt when holding you?
 
G     Em
Warm,    touching warm
D                        C            D    D C D
  Reaching out, touching me, touching you

I m in-clined, 
     C/G   C          D
to believe they never would

Oh  no  no
