[G#] [F#] [C#]
[F#] [G#] [A#m] [G#]
[A#m] [F#] [C#] [F#] [G#]
[A#m] [G#] [A#m] Caroline, [F#] Caroline I never could read [G#] you the struggle
Hold the line, [F#] hold the line [C#] I'll [F#] be [G#] there on the double
[A#m] [G#] In time, [C#] [F#] in [C#] time [F#] Everyone [G#] does see trouble
[A#m] You don't [F#] need to know [G#]
[A#m] [F#] [G#] why when you cry
Violet skies, [C#] violet [F#] [C#] blaze [F#] Going back home [G#] to the great lakes
Where the cattail sways [C#] With the [F#] lonesome moon
That night [C#] train in late June With the [F#] windows [G#] wide by my side
[F#] With the windows wide With the windows [C#] wide by my side
And [A#m] [F#]
[C#] [C#] [G#] [A#m] [C#m]
[A#] [F#] [C#] [F#] [G#]
[A#m] the clusters [G#] fell [A#m] Like an empty [F#]
bell
Need to get a shower [G#] at the motel Where the empty space
[A#m] Is a [F#] saving grace [C#] Making [F#] good time [G#] and doing well
Still the questions seem [F#] Like Saturn's [C#] rings
Maybe [F#] she [G#] knows and she won't [A#m] tell But you don't need [F#] to know [C#] why when you cry
You don't need [F#] to know why You don't need to know [G#] why when you cry
[C#] [G#] [C#]
[F#] And [G#]
[C#] [G#] [C#] [F#] [C#]
[G#] I find you there In your [F#] country [C#] flair
[F#] Middle of the [G#] river in a long chair With your wrinkled hands
And your [D#m] silver hair [C#]
[F#] Leaving you [G#] soon and you're nowhere
Nowhere the cattail sways With the [F#] lonesome moon
You'll be riding that [G#] train in late June [A#m] With the [F#] windows [G#] wide by your side
[A#m] With the [F#] windows wide With the windows [C#] wide by your side
And you [F#] don't need to know why You don't need to know [G#] why when you cry
[C#] [F#] [C#]
[G#] [C#] [G#] [C#]
[G#] [F#]
[G#] [A#m] [F#] [C#]
