G

[Verse 1]
                        Cadd9       G   Cadd9
Well the name she gave was Caroline
              G
Daughter of a miner
        Cadd9
And her ways were free
        G  D/F#  Em7
And it seemed to me
         Dsus2           Cadd9   G
That sunshine walked beside her

[Verse 2]
G
She come from Spencer
Cadd9    G
Across the hill
Cadd9                 G
She said her pa had sent her
           Cadd9
'cause the coal was low
      G D/F# Em7
And soon the snow
       Dsus2           Cadd9   G
Would turn the sky to winter

[Verse 3]
G
She said she'd come
Cadd9        G      Cadd9
To look for work
                     G
She was not seeking favors
          Cadd9
And for a dime a day
      G  D/F#  Em7
And a place to stay
      Dsus2               Cadd9   G
She'd turn those hands to labor

[Verse 4]
G
But the times were hard
Cadd9             G    Cadd9
And the jobs were few
                     G
All through Tecumseh Valley
       Cadd9
So she asked around
        G  D/F#  Em7
'till a job she found
        Dsus2        Cadd9    G
Tending bar at Gypsy Sally's

[Verse 5]
G                Cadd9         G
She saved enough to get back home
Cadd9                  G
Spring replaced the winter
        Cadd9
But her dreams were denied
    G D/F#  Em7
Her pa had died
Dsus2               Cadd9   G
Word come down from Spencer

[Verse 6]
G                       Cadd9      G      Cadd9
So she took to walkin' out on the road
                  G
With all the hate inside her
           Cadd9
And it was many a man
    G D/F# Em7
Returned again
   Dsus2         Cadd9     G
To lay himself beside her

[Verse 7]
G                         Cadd9        G      Cadd9
Well they found her down beneath the stairs
                  G
That led to Gypsy Sally's
       Cadd9
In her hand when she died
       G  D/F#  Em7
Was a note that cried
          Dsus2
Fare thee well
         Cadd9   G
Tecumseh Valley

[Verse 8]
G                      Cadd9    G     Cadd9
Well the name she gave was Caroline
               G
Daughter of a miner
        Cadd9
And her ways were free
        G  D/F#  Em7
And it seemed to me
        Dsus2         Cadd9      G
The sunshine walked beside her
