Intro: D E D E  

D             E   
fire on the brain 
(Repeat Intro) 

D                E 
crooked memory craned 

G             D 
lunar pulling stone 

G              D 
stardust in my bones 

D                  Em 
like we were never born 

D                      Em 
like ghosts out in the corn 

G                       D 
and the rain curtains raised 

G                      A 
things that don't have names 

Em           G 
caroline, caroline 

D   A     Em G  D 
caroline, caroline 

Em                       D 
and all my food was tears 

D                      E 
and so with us old years 

G                            D 
like a dancer with a bad heart 

G                   A 
pray it never starts 

Em         D   A Em  
caroline, caroline

caroline, caroline 

D    A    Em G D 
caroline, caroline 

                
End on C
