Caroline by Harry Chapin (with lyrics) Chords

_ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _
Caroline comes from the rain, glistening and shivering, she laughs as she shakes [Em] off the weather _
_ Caroline _ [Bm] whispers her words, [Em] saying she'll always love me, at least when we [F#m] are together
_ Caroline _ starts closing in, surrounding the spot where [A] watching in wonder [G] I stand
_ Caroline, [F#m] shedding her rings, her bracelets and stockings [Em] and placing her skin still moist in the palm of [D] my hand
_ _ [A] _ [Bm] You're pressing, she smiles, it's too soon to ask [F#m] for me to cast off my [A] cover
[G] You assume that I'm caught up there in your head, [F#m] so now I must go to [A] my lover _ _ _
[D] Her world is such [Bm] a sudden place, [G] a minute _ [B] flashed before my face, [Bm] to fly, to feel, [F#m] to fall, to embrace
[Em] Oh Caroline, [D] I'm [A] leaning, _ careening, [D] this mobile [Bm] that I choose to chase
[G] Keeps breaking off [B] the brink [A] of space, [Bm] just as I'm [F#m] about to taste [Em] its meaning
_ [A] Caroline, _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Caroline, _ comes from the full moon, trembling and grieving, afraid of the [Em] march of the seasons
_ Caroline, you're too young to be running, too old to be lying, too wise not to see [F#m] all the reasons
Caroline, hangs her cape and her jeans, surrenders her tears to christen my pillow [G] with sorrow
_ Caroline, _ [F#m] remains after times to explain what she means, [Em] she speaks of today [G] more than she dreams [D] of tomorrow
_ [A] _ _ [Bm] She says never has life been [G] so full of the urge [F#m] to let go of the night and [A] believe
She [G] collects all her things while she's still of her mind, so [F#m] soft it's like breathing, [A] she _ leaves _
[D] Her world is such [Bm] a sudden place, [G] a minute [A] flashed before my [Bm] face, to fly, to feel, to [F#m] fall, to [Em] embrace
Oh Caroline, [D] I'm [A]
leaning, _ careening, [D] this mobile that [Bm] I choose to [G] chase
Keeps breaking off [A] the brink of [Bm] space, just as I'm [F#m] about to taste [Em] its meaning
_ [A] Caroline, [D] _ _
