D
They say you were born in St. Claire’s hospital
G D
I say you were born up in the sky
D
You come floatin’ down over New Orleans
G D
To the sweet green levee on the riverside
A
And your voice chirped like old squeaky shoes
G
And momma always said we had nothing to lose
D A G
And so we danced on the street corner
CHORUS
D G
Oh Caroline (Caroline)
G D
Heartbroken hard times, they never got us down
G D Bm
Walkin’ the same line through every single southern town
A
Hand in hand your arm ‘round mine
G D
Oh Caroline
D G
Oh Caroline (Caroline)
G D
I seen it all change, watch it change some more
G D Bm
Seen hard times standin’ right outside your door
A
Tell me girl what’s on your mind
G D
Oh Caroline
We were the Cardinal’s biggest fans
Turnin’ flips like Ozzy Smith all through the night
‘Til we got traded away
To the Red Clay Southern League up on the Georgia line
You could be the pitcher and the catcher too
I’m the home run king before his muscles grew
Gonna knock the cover off this town
Chorus
These are different days
And the pace of the world has us thinking there’s
No time to turn the other way
Take my hand and we’ll walk on down the line
Though we may be a thousand miles apart
A brother and a sister have a single heart
And the beat don’t stop for nothin’.
Chorus
