Intro A 

 
A                        E                      Bm 
I look to the West and I see that old sun going down 
A                        E                      Bm 
I strap on my boots and I go blow the roof off this town 
A                        E                      Bm 
In goes the liquor and out of my mouth comes the flame 
A                            E                      Bm 
The sun comes back up and my first word is always your name 
 

 
Bm   E                       A                F#m 
Caroline, my hands make the shape of yours in mine 
           Bm            E                A     A4    A 
And they refuse to hold on to something new 
Bm    E              A              F#m 
Caroline I'm gonna burn up all my time 
           Bm             E        A 
Until the lord brings me back to you 
 

 
A                                 E                           Bm 
A man takes your horse you just find him and shoot him down dead 
A                                 E                       Bm 
A man takes your money you could give him a heel to the head 
A                            E                              Bm 
But what do you do when the lord comes and takes away your wife 
A                            E                       Bm 
Yes your only revenge is to curs everyday of your life 
 

 
Bm   E                       A                F#m 
Caroline, my hands make the shape of yours in mine 
           Bm            E                A     A4    A 
And they refuse to hold on to something new 
Bm    E              A              F#m 
Caroline I'm gonna burn up all my time 
           Bm             E        A 
Until the lord brings me back to you 
 

 
A                             E                      Bm 
You knew me before I work so hard to build this bad name 
A                             E                    Bm 
You knew me before I knew whiskey, whippings and women and running in vain 
A                              E                 Bm 
You knew you were on your way out long before I did 
A                                 E               Bm 
You knew it would kill me that's why you kept it hid 
 

 
Bm   E                       A                F#m

And they refuse to hold on to something new 
Bm    E              A              F#m

           Bm             E        A 
Until the lord brings me back to you
