HIS DAUGHTER CAROLINE
As recorded by Chuck Berry
(From the 1965 Album CHUCK BERRY IN LONDON)
[Intro]
Eb7
[Verse 1]
Eb7So few years ago her daddy Bb7held her in his arms
Snugged the blanket around her feet to help and keep them Eb7warm
When he kissed her tender cheek, oh, how her eyes would Ab7shine
His every dream was Bb7built around his daughter CarolinEb7e
[Verse 2]
Eb7He remembered every time Bb7she'd turn another year
And, at the birthday parties, when he'd shed a happy Eb7tear
Thinking of the wedding dress that she would wear Ab7someday
When he'd have to Bb7give his daughter Caroline aEb7way
[Guitar Solo]
Eb7 Bb7 Eb7
[Verse 3]
Eb7He thought of what he saw the night they Bb7called her from the roll
A silver graduation ring and engagement ring of Eb7gold
It seems as tho' twas yesterday he met her valenAb7tine
And now she's grown Bb7and here to wed his daughter CaroEb7line
[Verse 4]
Eb7Marching on his arm she whispered, "Bb7Pa, I still love you"
Those words remained within his ears when she vowed, "Eb7I do"
Cheer was sparkling from his eyes, but tears were in beAb7hind
When he gave his Bb7heart away, his daughter CaroEb7line
[Outro]
Eb7
