This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Tune your guitar down a 1/2 step. The song's in 6/8 time, but swing it a bit! Watch the rhythms

Verse 1:
C C/B
We share a wine at your table
F
Young summer sun in our eyes
C C/B
With the voice that you save for strangers, you
F Fsus4
Read loudly from your book of lies
Am F
Well I know that one thing's for sure
Am D
Our love's in a heap on the floor - tell me
C F
Caroline, how divine
C F
How do you sleep there so simply
C F G
With bells on your toes and the light on your lips - tell me
C F
Who am I if I'm not the one who is
Am D
Feeling used, but now that its done
C F Em F G
Who'll keep your sweet thing satisfied?
Chorus:
(play intro riff twice)
Caroline
(How I wish I was free)
Caroline
Verse 2: (same chords as before)
Blue masquerade in the evening
Words from some purple crusade
Delivering the loaves and the fishes
To the sounds of a passing parade
I clearly see your desire
Pass me some more holy wine
Tell me, Caroline, how divine
How do you sleep there so simply?
With bells on your toes and the light on your lips
Who am I if I'm not the one
Who is feeling used, but now that its done
Who'll keep your sweet thing satisfied?
Chorus
Chorus again:
How divine
(How I wish I was free)
Caroline
Hope you're happy in your dreams.
