Caroline - Otis Gibbs
Capo - 3
DWith her brother in the Akitchen, Embreaking green beans in Ghalf
DWhile her father worked in a coal Amine, doing Emchores he'd left for Gthem
DI say her momma left, Aand took the family car, Emon a cold midwestern Gevening
DShe left everything Abehind, searching Emfor , a little piece of Gmind
EmSomewhere on the other A7side....
Chorus:
DCaroline, F#mCaroline......Bmlives her life inside a Gdaydream
DAnd she keeps it all Ainside, all the Empain, she has to Ghide,
EmAll the boys would stand in A7line......for CDaroline
DWhen the daughter of a Aminer, loved the Emboy from down the Groad
DAt sixteen she was Awedded, Emhe was 24 years oGld
DWell the checks were small,A and the debts were large Em
And it seemed he'd never Gwork
DHe had a problem with the Abottle, he'd get Emdrunk, and she'd get Ghurt
EmLonely depressed and A7insecure....
DCaroline, F#mCaroline......Bmlives her life inside a Gdaydream
DAnd she keeps it all Ainside, all the Empain, she has to Ghide,
EmAll the boys would stand in A7line......for CDaroline
DLiving in a motel Aroom, Emsleeping double across 2 Gbeds
DShe tries not to wake the Achildren, tangled Emin her long black Ghair
DShe dreams of leaving him, Aand putting him in jail,Em high walls and iron bGars
DShe read the sins of the Afather, will be Emvisited, upon the Gson
EmShe lives in fear of things to A7come.....
DCaroline, F#mCaroline.....Bmlives her life inside a Gdaydream
DAnd she keeps it all Ainside, all the Empain, she has to Ghide,
EmPeace will be with you in A7time.....CDaroline
EmPeace will be with you in A7time.....CDaroline
