[Intro]

(n.c)
 (Drums)


[Verse 1]

E6              D6
 Where did your long hair go?
E6                   D6
 Where is the girl I used to know?
E6             Em7       G/A   Dmaj7
 How could you lose that happy glow?
             Dmaj9
Oh Caroline, no.


[Verse 2]

E6             D6
 Who took that look away,
E6                  D6
 I remember how you used to say.
E6           Em7         A7         Dmaj7
 You'd never change, but that's not true.
             Dmaj9
Oh Caroline, you...


[Bridge 1]

         Bm7      E7      Amaj7
Break my heart; I want to go and cry.
        G#m7b5 C#7b9   F#m
It's so sad to watch a sweet thing die.
             Bm7b5
Oh Caroline, why?


[Verse 3]

E6                    D6
 Could I ever find in you again;
E6                            D6
 Things that made me love you so much then?
E6                        Em7        A7       Dmaj7
 Could we ever bring them back, once they had gone?
             Dmaj9
Oh Caroline, no.
