intro
|E    |     |     |
|     |     |C#m  Bm
 
verse 1
|A//         |     |D//        |
  Where it began,    I can't begin to know it,
|A//         |                 |E      |
  But then I know it's growing strong.
|A//         |       |D//           |
  Was it the spring,   and spring became a summer?
|A//           |                  |E     |E7
  Who'd have believed you'd come along?
|A     |    |F#m             |    |E             |
Hands,        touching hands,       reaching out,
|D            |           |E     |  D-E
  Touching me,   touching you
 
chorus
|A        |D   D-A|D            |               |E    |  D-E
Sweet Caroline,      good times never seemed so good.
|A       |D     D-A|D     |                |E     D   |C#m Bm
I'd be inclined      to believe they never would. But now  I'm...
 
verse 2
|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?
|A    |    |F#m            |    |E             |
Warm,        touching warm,       reaching out,
|D            |           |E     |  D-E
  Touching me,   touching you
 
chorus
|A        |D   D-A|D            |               |E    |  D-E
Sweet Caroline,      good times never seemed so good.
|A       |D     D-A|D     |                |E     D  |C#m Bm
I'd be inclined      to believe they never would. Oh no   no.

|A        |D   D-A|D     |                |E      |  D-E
Sweet Caroline,      I believe they never could.
