C F C
The name she gave was Caroline
F C
The daughter of a miner
F
And her ways were free
C G/B Am
And it seemed to me
G F C
That sunshine walked beside her
[Versetto]
C F C
She come from Spencer, across the hill
F C
She said her pa had sent her
F
Cause the coal was low
C G/B Am
And soon the snow
G F C
Would turn the skies to winter.
[Versetto]
C F C
She said she'd come to look for work
F C
She was not seekin' favors
F
And for a dime a day
C G/B Am
And a place to stay
G F C
She'd turn those hands to labor
[Versetto]
C F C
The times were hard Lord, and the jobs were few
F C
All through Tecumseh Valley
F
But she asked around
C G/B Am
And a job she found
G F C
Tending bar at Gypsy Sally's
[Versetto]
C F C
She saved enough to get back home
F C
When spring replaced the winter
F
But her dreams were denied
C G/B Am
Her pa had died
G F C
The word come down from Spencer.
[Versetto]
C F C
So she turned to whorin' out on the streets
F C
With all the lust inside her
F
And it was many a man
C G/B Am
Who returned again
G F C
To lay himself beside her.
[Versetto]
C F C
They found her down beneath the stairs
F C
That led to Gypsy Sally's
F
And in her hand when she died
C G/B Am
Was a note that cried
G F C
Fare-thee-well, Tecumseh Valley
[Versetto]
C F C
The name she gave was Caroline
F C
The daughter of a miner
F
And her ways were free
C G/B Am
And it seemed to me
G F C
That sunshine walked beside her
