Caroline

[Intro] A

[First Part]

A                        E       
I look to the West and I see that
               Bm
 old sun going down
A                        E       
I strap on my boots and I go blow
               Bm
 the roof off this town
A                        E       
In goes the liquor and out of my 
               Bm
mouth comes the flame
A                            E   
The sun comes back up and my 
                   Bm
first word is always your name

[Chorus]

Bm   E                       A  
Caroline, my hands make the 
              F#m
shape of yours in mine
           Bm            E  
And they refuse to hold on to 
              A     A4    A
something new
Bm    E              A          
Caroline I'm gonna burn up all 
    F#m
my time
           Bm             E        A
Until the lord brings me back to you

[Second Part]

A                                 
A man takes your horse you just 
E                           Bm
find him and shoot him down dead
A                              
A man takes your money you could 
   E                       Bm
give him a heel to the head
A                            E   
But what do you do when the lord 
                           Bm
comes and takes away your wife
A                            E   
Yes your only revenge is to cursе
                    Bm
 everyday of your life

[Chorus]

Bm   E                       A  
Caroline, my hands make the 
              F#m
shape of yours in mine
           Bm            E  
And they refuse to hold on to 
              A     A4    A
something new
Bm    E              A          
Caroline I'm gonna burn up all 
    F#m
my time
           Bm             E        A
Until the lord brings me back to you

[Third Part]

A                             E  
You knew me before I work so hard
                    Bm
 to build this bad name
A                             E  
You knew me before I knew 
                  Bm
whiskey, whippings and women and 
running in vain
A                              E 
You knew you were on your way out
                Bm
 long before I did
A                                 
You knew it would kill me that's 
E               Bm
why you kept it hid

[Chorus]

Bm   E                       A  
Caroline, my hands make the 
              F#m
shape of yours in mine
           Bm            E  
And they refuse to hold on to 
              A     A4    A
something new
Bm    E              A          
Caroline I'm gonna burn up all 
    F#m
my time
           Bm             E        
Until the lord brings me back to 
A A4    A
you
           Bm             E        A
Until the lord brings me back to you
