Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Neil Diamond Song List

Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4 Version 5

            Standard Tuning

Last line played progressively slower with each syllable.

Modulate between D7 and D for the intro by using your pinky for the D keeping the other three fingers still.

Capo 4 for the original key, I use capo 2 which I prefer for solo guitar performance.


[Verse]

G                 C     
  Where it began,   I can't begin to knowin
G                            D
  But then I know it's going strong
G                    C
  Was it the spring,  and spring became a summer?
G                                  D
  Who’d have believed you'd come a-long?


[Chorus]

G       Em
 Hands,     touching hands
D                        C            D    D  C  D
  Reaching out, touching me, touching you

G          C     C  G  C                        
Sweet Caro-line, 
     C/G   C     C/G       D    D C D
good times never seemed so good
G      C        C G C                    
I m in-clined, 
   C/G     C          D
to believe they never would

C     Bm    Am
But   now   I'm


[Verse 2]

G                    C                              
  Look at the night,   and it don't seem so lonely
G                          D
   We fill it up with only two
G                  C                                      
  And when I hurt,   hurting runs off my shoulder                       
G                             D
  How can I hurt when holding you?

G     Em
Warm,    touching warm
D                        C            D    D C D
  Reaching out, touching me, touching you

Sweet Caro-line, 
     C/G   C     C/G       D    D C D
good times never seemed so good
G      C        C G C                    
I m in-clined, 
     C/G   C          D
to believe they never would

C   Bm  Am
Oh  no  no


[Chorus] Modulate between D7 and D again

G          C     C G C                        
Sweet Caro-line, 
     C/G   C     C/G       D    D C D
good times never seemed so good

G          C     C G C
