Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]They say[G]
[D]you were born
in St. Claire's hospital
[G]I say you were born up in the s[D]ky
You come floatin' down over New Orleans
To the [G]sweet green levee
on the river [D]side
And your [A]voice chirped like
old squeaky shoes
And [G]momma always said we
had nothing to [D]lose
And so we [A]danced on the street
corner
[G]

[Verse 2]
[Chorus:]
[D]Oh Caroline
(Round) Car[G]oline
Heartbroken hard times,
[D]they never got us [G]down
Walkin' the same line through
[D]every single [Bm]southern town
[A]Hand in hand your arm
'round mine
Oh Caroline

[Verse 3]
[G]Oh Caroline
(Round) Caroline
I seen it all change and watch it
[D]change some more
Seen hard times standin' right
outside your door
Tell me gal what's on your mind

[Verse 4]
Oh Caroline
[D]
We were the Cardinals' biggest fans
[G]Turnin' flips like Ozzy Smith
all through the [D]night
'Til we got traded away
To the [G]Red Clay Southern League
up on the [D]Georgia line
[A]You be the pitcher and the catcher too
I'm the [G]home run king before
his muscles [D]grew
Gonna knock [A]the cover off
this time
[G]

[Verse 5]
[Chorus:]
[D]Oh Caroline
(Round) Caroline
I seen it all change [G]an d watch it
change some more
Seen hard [D]times [G]standin'
[D]right out[Bm]side your door
Tell me [A]gal what's on your mind
Oh [G]Caroline

[Verse 6]
These are different days [D]And
[G]the pace of the world has
us [D]thinking there's no time
To turn the other way
Take my hand [G]and we'll
[D]walk on down the line
[A]Though we may be a thousand miles apart
[G]A brother and a sister have
[D]a single h[A]eart
And the beat don?t [G]stop for nothin'
[A][Chorus:] Oh Caroline

[Verse 7]
[D]
(Round) Car[G]oline
I seen it all change and watch

[G]Seen hard times standin'
[D]right outside your [Bm]door[A]
Tell me gal what's on [G]your mind
Oh [D]Caroline

[Verse 8]
