Jimmy Buffett - Caroline Street

chorus :
there’s A [ G ] woman goin’ crazy on caroline street
[ D ] stoppin’ every man that she does meet
sayin’ [ C ] if you’ll be gentle if you’ll be sweet
i’ll show you my place on caro [ Am ] line [ G ] street

she [ G ] claimed in a loud [ D ] voice to be A [ C ] dancer
but [ G ] i don’t think she’s [ D ] cut a rug in [ C ] years
[ G ] listens to the [ D ] jukebox for her [ C ] answers
s [ G ] lowly guzzles [ D ] twenty – five cent [ C ] beers

talks [ G ] about the men [ D ] she’s known and then [ C ] some
she’s [ G ] seen them in [ D ] her dreams and on the [ C ] street
she [ G ] slides her dapper legs [ D ] from beneath the [ C ] table
as if [ G ] to reveal some [ D ] kind of [ C ] treat

there’s A [ G ] woman goin’ crazy on caroline street
[ D ] stoppin’ every man that she does meet
sayin’ [ C ] if you’ll be gentle if you’ll be sweet
i’ll show you my place on caro [ Am ] line [ G ] street

her [ G ] lover left her [ D ] stranded in [ C ] jamaica
just [ G ] right now she can [ D ] ’t recall his [ C ] name
perceiving [ G ] she’s the [ D ] center of [ C ] attention
and all [ G ] the lurking eyes [ D ] they look the [ C ] same

weather’s [ G ] got the shrimpers [ D ] in A [ C ] frenzy
they’re [ G ] horny and don’t [ D ] need a good [ C ] excuse
someone [ G ] yells and things [ D ] just start [ C ] erupting
and in A [ G ] flash all hell has [ D ] broken [ C ] loose

there’s A [ G ] woman goin’ crazy on caroline street
[ D ] stoppin’ every man that she does meet
sayin’ [ C ] if you’ll be gentle if you’ll be sweet
i’ll show you my place on caro [ Am ] line [ G ] street

when [ G ] i woke up and looked [ D ] around the [ C ] barroom
she was [ G ] gone and i was [ D ] black and [ C ] blue
so be [ G ] careful when you [ D ] go to swing your [ C ] partner
someone [ G ] just might take [ D ] a swing [ C ] at you

( repeat chorus twice and fade )
