A              D                           A 
Where it began, I can't begin to know it 
                           E      A 
But then I know it's going strong 
                     D                           A 
First was the spring, and spring became a summer 
                              E 
Who?d have believe you?d come along. 

A      Amaj7          E 
Hands, touching hands 
             D            E 
Reaching out, touching me, touching you. 

A         D                                E 
Sweet Caroline, good times never seemed so good 
A     D                              E     D Dbm Bm 
I'm inclined, to believe there never would. 

A                 D                            A 
Look at the night, and it don't seem so lonely 
                        E   A 
We fill it up with only two 
                D                           A  
And when I hurt, it runs off of my shoulder 
                            E 
How can I hurt when holding you. 

A     Amaj7         E 
Warm, touching warm 
             D            E 
Reachin? out, touching me, touching you. 

A         D                                E 
Sweet Caroline, good times never seemed so good.
