CAROLINE BY THE OLD CROW MEDICINE SHOW
I found some tabs of this song, wich were essentially the right chords but played
the wrong way, so here is my version of the song.
play with the capo on the first fret, just the normal open chords, in relation to the capo.
(so with the capo the c should be: (032001) the C played is actually a D but OCMS
plays it with capo)
They say you were [C]born in St. Claireâ??s hospital
[F]I say you were born up in the [C]sky
You come [C]floatinâ?? down over New Orleans
To the [F]sweet green levee on the riverside[C]
And your [G]voice chirped like old squeaky shoes
And [F]momma always said we had nothing to lose
[C]And so we [G]danced on the street cor[F]ner
CHORUS
Oh [C]Carol[F]ine (Caroline)
[F]Heartbroken hard times, they never [C]got us down
[F]Walkinâ?? the same line throug[C]h every singl[Am]e southern town
[G]Hand in hand your arm â??round mine
Oh Caro[F]lin[C]e
Oh [C]Carol[F]ine (Caroline)
I [F]seen it all change, watch it [C]change some more
[F]Seen hard times standinâ?[C]? right outside you[Am]r door
[G]Tell me girl whatâ??s on your mind
Oh [F]Carol[C]ine
We were the Cardinalâ??s biggest fans
Turninâ?? flips like Ozzy Smith all through the night
â??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
Iâ??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 thereâ??s
No time to turn the other way
Take my hand and weâ??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 donâ??t stop for nothinâ??.
Chorus
enjoy playing it, its a great song!
