[Intro 1]
[D][G][Am][G][C][D][C][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Rose lived
on [G]the south side of [D]town
Un[G]til her [F]landlord showed [C]up
with two [G]hundred dollar bills
A [Am]notice of [G]eviction on the [D]other hand
Now [C]she don't [F]live there no [C]more
And every[G]one thinks he drowned

[Interlude 1]
[D]

[Verse 2]
[Am]I pulled into Me[G]cklenburg
on them [D]trains
Into a [F]station that got [C]flooded
when they [G]opened up the dam
And [Am]broke their connec
[G]tions to the [D]railway lines
So they could [F]blast into the [C]quarry
And for every [G]load of granite
We got a [D]ton of worry

[Verse 3]
[D]
One [Am]night at [G]the diner over [D]eggs
Over [F]easy she [C]showed me
[G]the length of her legs
But that [Am]gold plated [G]cross on [D]her neck,
it was real
And you don't [F]get that kind
[C]of money from [G]pushing meal

[Interlude 2]
[D]

[Verse 4]
[D]I s[G]hould've t[D]old him that
you were the one for me
[G]But I lied, [F]but I lied
To [D]most [G]any [D]drifter whose
looking for work is [G]too weird
I met your [F]sister and I
[Bb]married her in Ju[C]ly
But if [G]only to be [F]closer to you,
[Bb]Caroline

[Interlude 3]
[C][D]

[Verse 5]
[Am]Percy and [G]I moved down the s[D]treet
Until we [F]lost two pretty [C]girls
One [G]was seven and one was three
[Am]Alderman and [G]Caroline owned
the [D]house right up the hill
Where [F]we laid those babies [C]down
So they could still [G]see our [D]house

[Verse 6]
[D]
Sus[Am]picion got the [G]best of
old Al[D]derman Haint
He owned [F]an auto parts [C]store
off the [G]interstate
But the [Am]lord took him [G]home in Ju[D]ly
And then [F]Rose spilled the beans
[C]on the day[G] that he die[D]d
We was in [G]trouble[D]

[Verse 7]
I [G]should've [D]told him that
you were the one for [G]me
But I lied, but [F]I lied
[D]Tied [G]up [D]to concrete at the
bottom of the [C]quarry
With [G]a tattoo on his [F]heart that
spelled [Bb]out "Caroline"
[C]He was si [G]lent but his ros[F]ary
Well, [Bb]it drifted into the cus[C]tody
Of a [G]sheriff that was just [F]deputized
[D]

[Verse 8]
And [Am]I was do[C]wn at the
[G]banquet hall
When two [F]guys came up[C],
pretty [G]angry and drunk
And [Am]I'm [F]still [C]here at the [F]banquet [C]hall
At the [F]banquet [C]hall
Where the [G]gun went off in
the [D]Carolina [F]rain[C][G]
In the [D]Carolina [F]rain[C][G]
In the [D]Carolina [F]rain[C]
[G]Oh, Caroli[D]ne
