D5 They say you were born in St. Claire?s hospital G5 D5 I say you were born up in the sky D5 You come floatin? down over New Orleans G5 D5 To the sweet green levee on the riverside A5 And your voice chirped like old squeaky shoes G5 And momma always said we had nothing to lose D5 A5 G5 And so we danced on the street corner D5 G5 Oh Caroline (Caroline) G5 D5 Heartbroken hard times, they never got us down G5 D5 B5 Walkin? the same line through every single southern town A5 Hand in hand your arm ?round mine G5 D5 Oh Caroline D5 G5 Oh Caroline (Caroline) G5 D5 I seen it all change, watch it change some more G5 D5 B5 Seen hard times standin? right outside your door A5 Tell me girl what?s on your mind G5 D5 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
