[Verse 1]
                        Cadd9       G   Cadd9Well the name she gave was Caroline
              GDaughter of a miner
        Cadd9And her ways were free
        G  D/F#  Em7And it seemed to me
         Dsus2           Cadd9   GThat sunshine walked beside her

[Verse 2]
GShe come from Spencer
Cadd9    GAcross the hill
Cadd9                 GShe said her pa had sent her
           Cadd9'cause the coal was low
      G D/F# Em7And soon the snow
       Dsus2           Cadd9   GWould turn the sky to winter

[Verse 3]
GShe said she'd come
Cadd9        G      Cadd9To look for work
                     GShe was not seeking favors
          Cadd9And for a dime a day
      G  D/F#  Em7And a place to stay
      Dsus2               Cadd9   GShe'd turn those hands to labor

[Verse 4]
GBut the times were hard
Cadd9             G    Cadd9And the jobs were few
                     GAll through Tecumseh Valley
       Cadd9So she asked around
        G  D/F#  Em7'till a job she found
        Dsus2        Cadd9    GTending bar at Gypsy Sally's

[Verse 5]
G                Cadd9         GShe saved enough to get back home
Cadd9                  GSpring replaced the winter
        Cadd9But her dreams were denied
    G D/F#  Em7Her pa had died
Dsus2               Cadd9   GWord come down from Spencer

[Verse 6]
G                       Cadd9      G      Cadd9So she took to walkin' out on the road
                  GWith all the hate inside her
           Cadd9And it was many a man
    G D/F# Em7Returned again
   Dsus2         Cadd9     GTo lay himself beside her

[Verse 7]
G                         Cadd9        G      Cadd9Well they found her down beneath the stairs
                  GThat led to Gypsy Sally's
       Cadd9In her hand when she died
       G  D/F#  Em7Was a note that cried
          Dsus2Fare thee well
         Cadd9   GTecumseh Valley
