Song : Guitar and Lyrics for Caroline

*I redid the main riff because I noticed that you can hear his fingers moving across the strings at some parts, and the higher strings don't make that noise.

Caroline my baby, Caroline my sweet
If I married Caroline, so happy I would be.
I wouldn't need no whiskey, I wouldn't need no wine,
I wouldn't need much of anything if Caroline was mine.
Her daddy is a preacher and he may he rot in hell,
I'd sell my soul to satan for a bucket from her well.
Cuz I know that he don't like me, and I know he'll dissaprove
But i'm gonna marry Caroline if it's the last thing that I do

[Main Riff]
Well if I was a painter, i'd put you down in paint,
i'd hang you by the Monalisa and put that girl to shame.
Or if I was a sailer and sailed the seven seas,
i'd row across the ocean just to bring you home with me.
Oh no
Oh Caroline my baby, oh Caroline my sweet
You make a man go crazy, why won't you come to me?
Cuz i've been feelin' lonesome, feelin' kind of blue.
I think i'd rather die than to be away from you.
F#m G#m A G#m
She said, "Boy, you know you've caught my eye
F#m G#m A G#m
and I know you're sweeter than an apple pie.
F#m G#m A G#m
But I like my men, completely wild,
F#m G#m B
so baby keep on tryin'.." ooh ooh ooh
[Main riff]
Caroline my baby,
Caroline my sweet,
i'm gonna marry Caroline...
End on E
