[Intro]
E7 E7 E E E7 E E7 A
[Verse]
A              D 
Where it began, I can't begin to knowin' 
A                            E 
But then I know it's growin' strong 
A                 D 
Was in the spring, and spring became a summer 
A                               E    E7 
Who'd have believed you'd come along?
[Pre-Chorus]
A     F#m 
Hands,  touching hands 
E             D                     E  E D E 
Reaching out, touching me, touching you
[Chorus]
A         D   D A D                           E    E D E 
Sweet Caroline,    good times never seemed so good 
A        D     D A D                      E 
I'd be inclined,    to believe they never would 
D   C#m Bm 
But now I
[Verse]
A                 D 
Look at the night, and it don't seem so lonely 
A                       E 
We fill it up with only two 
A               D 
And when I hurt, hurting runs off my shoulder 
A                           E   E7 
How can I hurt when holding you?
[Pre-Chorus]
A    F#m 
Warm,  touching warm 
E             D                     E  E D E 
Reaching out, touching me, touching you
[Chorus]
A         D   D A D                           E    E D E 
Sweet Caroline,    good times never seemed so good 
A        D     D A D                      E 
I'd be inclined,    to believe they never would 
D   C#m Bm 
Oh  no  no
[Instrumental]
E7 E7 E E E7 E E7 A
[Chorus]
A         D   D A D                           E    E D E 
Sweet Caroline,    good times never seemed so good 
A         D   D A D                     E 
Sweet Caroline,    I believe they never could . . .
