Some of the other versions were

Intro: Em C G D x4

Em      G G*               G     G*
Boathouse, coming down the river
        G  D         Em
Boathouse, carrying my son
C       G D            Em
Boathouse, carrying his mother
C        G               D (build)
You know she's the only one

C         D
Caroline, my heart is aching
   Em                     C
But I can't quit this town
C        D
Caroline, my heartless drinking
Em                    C
I can't quit this town
C       D
So go on, wave goodbye

Haul out, packing up his suitcase
C        D

living,"

And I know you're right

C        D
Caroline, I've been wondering
Em                               C
Why you didn't pick a better man?
C        D             Em

For I lost my love

===============================================================================================================

Let me start by saying that I have 
no music theory training and do 
everything by ear. That said, the 
chord names
I have used below are more symbolic 
- I'll do my best to name them 
correctly. Please feel free to send 
me a
message with their technical names.

Watch videos of Noah playing to get 
a feel for his strumming/chord 
changes, I did my best to be very 
accurate in

Chords Used:

   Em    C     G     G*    G**   
E|-0-----0-----3-----3-----3----0-
B|-0-----1-----0-----1-----1----3-
G|-0-----0-----0-----0-----0----0-
D|-2-----2-----0-----2-----0----4-
A|-2-----3-----0-----0-----2----5-
E|-0-----3-----3-----3-----0----5-
  D   Am
E|---3-| 
B|---1-| 
G|---0-| 
D|---2-| 
A|---0-| 
E|---0-| 

Note 1:
Throughout the song, Noah does a lot
 of hammer-ons and pull-offs with 
the B and D strings. Especially when
he plays a C. When playing a G*, 
Noah almost always does so by first 
hammering-on the B and D strings out
 of a
G chord.

Note 2:
Coming out of Interlude 2 Noah exits
 with what I will call an Am, and 
does a quick jump to what I will 
call G**
right before moving to the C, like 
this (added an approximate strum 
pattern here to help):

    D D D  U D U   D
    Am....     G** C
E|--3-3-3--3-3-3---0-| 
B|--1-1-1--1-1-1---1-| 
G|--0-0-0--0-0-0---0-| 
D|--2-2-2--2-2-0---2-| 
A|--0-0-0--0-0-2---3-| 
E|--0-0-0--0-0-0---3-|
