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]
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]
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,
