Song: Sweet Caroline
By:   Neil Diamond 

[intro:]    |E   |E   |E   |E   |
            |E   |G#m  F#  |B   |

[verse: 1]
|B               |       |E          |              |
   Where it began__         I can't begin to knowing
|B            |                 |F#       |        |     
   But then I know it's growing strong
|B              |        |E              |               |                              
   Was in the spring        and spring became the summer
|B                |                |F#7      |        |
   Who'd have believed you'd come along

|B      |      |B6              |         |
  Hands,         touching hands

|F#             |      |E            |          |F#7        |      E F# |           
  Reaching out,         touching me,  touching you_____

[chorus:]
|B            |E    E B |
 Sweet Caroline__
|E               |            |F#7       |    E F# |         
   Good times never seemed so good
|B              |E     E  B |
 I've been inclined
|E                       |F#   E  |D#m  C#m  |  
   To believe they never would but now   I

[verse: 2]
|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           Hurtin' runs off my shoulders
|B            |                |F#7      |        |
   How can I hurt when I'm with you
|B      |      |B6              |         |
  Warm,         touching warm
|F#             |      |E            |          |F#7        |    E F# |           
  Reaching out,         touching me,  touching you_____
