"Caroline" by David Gray
For the verses, play this riff:
A|---2---2---3---5---2---7---7--10---2---2---3---2--|
E|---3---3---3---3---3---8---8---8---3---3---3---3--|
C|---2---2---2---2---2---7---7---7---2---2---2---2--|
G|---0---2---2---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0--|
So, basically, it's the G chord with the pinky doing a little walk up the fretboard to the fifth fret, then just take the whole shebang up to the seventh fret and do it again. The chord shape never changes. It's real easy. The words for this part are:
Caroline, those crazy eyes that shine
The days blowing through my mind
Like falling leaves.
It aint no good
I tried hard as I could
But you just won't let
My poor heart be
Chorus:
The [Em] final war [C]
A steel-eyed [G] dinosaur [D]
Girl, I [Em] want you more [C]
Than I can [G] say [D]
Ah but [G] Caroline [C]
It seems like [G] everytime [Bm]
Honey [C] all I get [D] is further [G] away.
Play riff again:
The state I'm in
Got goose bumps on my skin
See the water I jump right in
Your heart so free.
I'll face the facts
There's paper on the cracks
Girl till I get you right
Back here with me.
Chorus
