[Intro ]- E - A - 2x's 


(verse 1) 
E 
My darlin I have wrong'd you,  
         A                     E 
Down the devil's path I have roamed, 
E 
Regret, sadness, and sorrow, 
          A                 E 
Now in my soul have found a home, 



(chorus) 
E 
My sweet Caroline,  
           A                 E 
From your loving arms I've strayed, 
E  
In your heart may you find, 
         A          E 
Dear forgiveness I pray, 



(verse 2) 
E                     A 
It woo'd to temptation,  
                 E 
Where I surely played, 
E 
I come to you now for salvation, 
       A              E 
That mercy in love's made, 


(chorus) 
E 
My sweet Caroline,  
           A                 E 
From your loving arms I've strayed, 
E  
In your heart may you find, 
         A          E 
Dear forgiveness I pray, 


(lead - E - A - 2x's) 


(verse 3) 
E 
There tear ain't cry of sins now, 
            A                  E 
Seems like Thunder through my head, 
E 
I'm no rest, now no comfort, 
       A               E 
In a cold dark lonely bed, 


(chorus) 
E 
My sweet Caroline,  
           A                 E 
From your loving arms I've strayed, 
E  
In your heart may you find, 
         A          E 
Dear forgiveness I pray, 
E 
My sweet Caroline,  
           A                 E 
From your loving arms I've strayed, 
E  
In your heart may you find, 
         A          E 
Dear forgiveness I pray,
