[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
Bm A E
Rose lived on the south side of town
G D A
Until her landlord showed up with two hundred dollar bills
Bm A E
A notice of eviction on the other hand
G D A E
Now she don't live there no more and everyone thinks she drowned
[Verse 2]
Bm A E
I pulled into Mecklenburg on them trains
G D A
Into a station that was flooded when they opened up the dams
Bm A E
And broke their connections to the railway lines
G D A
So they could blast into the quarry for every load of granite
E
We got a ton, don't worry
[Verse 3]
Bm A E
One night at the diner, over eggs
G D A
Over easy, she showed me the length of her legs
Bm A E
But that gold plated cross on her neck it was real
G D A E
And you don't get that kind of money from pushing the meal
[Chorus]
E
I shouldh've told him that you were the one for me
A G
But I lied, but I lied
E A
To most any drifter who's looking for work is too weird
G C D
I met your sister and I married her in July
A G C D E
But if only to be closer to you, Caroline
[Verse 4]
Bm A E
Percy and I moved down the street
G D A
Until we lost two pretty girls one was seven and one was three
Bm A E
Alderman and Caroline owned the house right up the hill
G D A E
Where we laid those babies down so they could still see our house
[Verse 5]
Bm A E
Suspicion got the best of old Alderman Haint
G D A
He owned an auto parts store off the interstate
Bm A E
But the Lord took him home in July
G D A E
And then Rose spilled the beans on the day that he died and we were in trouble
[Chorus]
E
I shouldh've told him that you were the one for me
A G
But I lied, but I lied
E
Tied up too concrete at the bottom of the quarry
A G C D
With a tattoo on his heart that spelled out Caroline
A G
He was silent, but his rosary
C D
Well it drifted into custody
A E
Of a sheriff that was just deputised
[Bridge]
Bm D A
And I was down at the banquet hall
G D A
Where two guys came up, pretty angry and drunk
Bm D G D G D
And I'm still here at the banquet hall, at the banquet hall
A E G D A
Where the gun went off in the Carolina Rain
E G D A
In the Carolina rain
E G D A
In the Carolina rain
E
Oh, Caroline
[Outro]
E
