His Daughter Caroline Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
So few years [D]ago her daddy
[A]held her in his arms
Snugged the blanket around her feet
to help and keep 'em [D]warm
When he kissed her tender cheek,
oh, how her eyes would [G]shine
His ev'ry dream [A]was built around
his daughter Caroline
[D]

[Verse 2]
He remembered ev'ry time
[A]she'd turn another year
And, at the birthday parties,
when he'd shed a happy [D]tear
Thinking of the wedding dress that
she would wear [G]someday
When he'd have to [A]give his daughter

[Interlude 1]
Caroline away
[D][A]
[G][A][D]

[Verse 3]
[D]He thought of what he saw the
night they [A]called her from the roll
A silver graduation ring and
engagement ring [D]of gold
It seems as tho' twas yesterday
he met her [G]valentine
And now she's grown [A]and here to wed
his daughter Caroline
[D]

[Verse 4]
Maarching on his arm she whispered,
[A]"Pa, I still love you"
Those words remained within his ears when she vowed,
"I [D]do"
Cheer was sparkling from his eyes,
but tears were in be[G]hind
When he gave his [A]heart away,

[Outro 1]
his daughter Caroline
[D]
