VERSE 1: C F They say you were born in St. Claires hospital C But I say you were born up in the sky C F You come floatin down over New Orleans C To the sweet green levee on the river side G And your voice chirped like old squeaky shoes F And momma always said we had nothing to lose C F And we danced on the street corner CHORUS: C F Oh Caroline (Round) Caroline C Heartbroken hard times, they never got us down F Am G Walkin the same line through every single southern town Hand in hand your arm round mine F C Oh Caroline C F Oh Caroline (Round) Caroline C I seen it all change, watch it change some more F Am Seen hard times standin right outside your door G Tell me girl whats on your mind F C Oh Caroline VERSE 2: C We were the Cardinals biggest fans F C Turnin flips like Ozzy Smith all through the night C Til we got traded away F C To the Red Clay Southern League up on the Georgia line G You be the pitcher and the catcher too F Im the home run king before his muscles grew C F Gonna knock the cover off this town CHORUS: C F Oh Caroline (Round) Caroline C Heartbroken hard times, they never got us down F Am G Walkin the same line through every single southern town Hand in hand your arm round mine F C Oh Caroline C F Oh Caroline (Round) Caroline C I seen it all change, watch it change some more F Am Seen hard times standin right outside your door G Tell me girl whats on your mind F C Oh Caroline VERSE 3: C These are different days F C And the pace of the world has us thinking theres no time C To turn the other way F C Take my hand and well walk on down the line G Though we may be a thousand miles apart F A brother and a sister have a single heart C F And the beat dont stop for nothin.
