[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Well the name she gave was _ _ Caroline, _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
daughter [C] of a miner
_ And _ _ her _ waves were [F]
free [C] and it seemed [Am] to me _ the _ _ [G] _
sunshine _ _ _ _ [F] walked beside [Am] _ her
_ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
She'd come from Spancing _ [F] _ _
across [C] the _ hill, _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ she said it [C] parts in her _ _
Cause [F] the _ cold's low, _ [C] it's soon _ [Am] _ snow, _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] return _ _ [C] the sky [F] to winter
_ _ _ _ [C] She _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
said she'd come to [F] _ _
[C] look for work, _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ she was not [C] seeking favors
For _ _ _ [F] a dime a day [C] and a place [Am] to stay, _ _ _ _ [G] she turned no _ _ _ _ [C] hands [F] to labor
_ But _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
the times were hard _ [F] and the [C] jobs were _ few, _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ all through [C] the Coves of Valley _ _ _
So she _ [F] asked around [C] till a _ job she [Am] _ _
found, _ _ [G] and then _ bought _ _ _ [F] Gypsy Sally
_ _ _ _ [C] She _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
saved enough _ _ [F] _
to get back [C] home, _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ and spring [C] replaced the winter
_ _ But _ _ [F] her dreams were denied, [C] her pa _ _ _ [Am] died, _ _ _ _ [G] the word _ come _ [C] down [F] from Spencer
_ _ So [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
she took to walking _ _ [F] _
out of [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ the hay [C] _ inside _ her _
[F] And it was May, _ _ _
_ [C] return _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ again, _ _ [G] and lay _ _ _ _ [F] herself beside _ her
_ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Well they found her down _ [F] _ _
[C] beneath the stairs, _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ and led to Gypsy [C] _ _ Sally's _ _
And [F] in her _ hand when she died [C] was an oath to [Am] cry, _ _ _ _ fare [G] thee well _ _ to [C] [F] Coves of Valley
_ _ Well [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ the _ name she gave _ [F] _ was [C] _ Caroline, _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ daughter of [C] the miner
_ And _
[F] her [C] _ ways were free, and it _ seemed to [Am] me _ the _ _ [G] _ _ sunshine _ _ _ [F] walked beside her
