             Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond

Intro:

B              E
Where it began   I can’t begin to knowin'
B                           F#
 But then I know it’s going strong
B                 E
Was in the spring  and spring became the summer
B                              F#
 Who’d have believe you’d come along

Bridge 1:---------------------------------------
B           E                 F#
Hands         touching hands
            E                       F#
Reaching out  touching me  touching you

Chorus:-----------------------------------------
B         E (riff A)       C#              F#
Sweet Caroline  Good times never seemed so good
B           E (riff A)    C#               F#
I've been inclined   to believe they never would
(riff B)         (2nd time)
But now I’m   /   oh no no
------------------------------------------------
B                 E
Look at the night  and it don’t seem so lonely
B                        F#
 We fill it up with only two
B               E
And when I hurt  Hurting runs off my shoulder
B                            F#
 How can I hurt when holding you
Bridge 2:---------------------------------------
B           E                 F#
Warm          touching warm
            E                       F#
Reachin out   touching me touching you

Repeat Chorus:----------------------------------

Repeat Intro :

B         E (riff A)       C#              F#
Sweet Caroline  Good times never seemed so good
B         E (riff A)    C#               F#
Sweet Caroline     to believe they never could
