Caroline
I noticed a number of mistakes in the previous version, especially in the lyrics, so I decided to type up a 
proper chord chart.  I believe this has all the correct chords lined up with the correct lyrics.
Intro:  | E   B| A   E|   B|   B| x2
EI woke up long after dawn, 20 years had come and gone
AI know when it changed for me, a day in June you came to me
I've sF#een through someone else's eyes with nothing on the other side
BEvery motel, every town pieces scattered all around
APromises that I can't be, someone's heart that I can't keep
EDays so long I couldn't speak, roads so rocky I can't sleep
But F#I've seen things so beautiful all around this broken world
That Bpale in comparison to you
ECaBrolAine EI'm Bon my way back Ehome to you
AImagine what I'm Egoing through wF#ithout you by my side
BIt's been a Elong, Blong Atime, Eoh Bwon't you say a Eprayer for me
AI hope you will reEmember me, you F#are always on my mindB  
AI have seen the canyon lands, crooked lines like in your hands
You'd Eswear the earth was split in two, I wouldn't lie I promise you
That F#I have seen it, you will too, you could not believe if not for 
BPhotographs I took for you, Caroline
AThey've built towers to the sky it hurts sometimes to watch them try
They Erun themselves into the ground but I know you will love them 
And their F#city lights and city sounds, there's beauty in the struggle
AnyBtime I feel it get me down I see you smiling
ECaBrolAine EI'm Bon my way back Ehome to you
AImagine what I'm Egoing through wF#ithout you by my side
BIt's been a Elong, Blong Atime, Eoh Bwon't you say a Eprayer for me
AI hope you will reEmember me, yoF#u are always on my mind
BMy Caroline
Piano Solo: | E   B| A   E|   B|   B| x4
Now AI have seen things in the sky: stars and lights and birds and I
EI've been rocky mountain high and told them all about you
Because F#you are still the only thing that constantly amazes me
I Blove the road and I've been blessed but I love you best
ECaBrolAine EI'm Bon my way back Ehome to you

proper chord chart. I believe this has all the correct chords lined up with the correct lyrics.

Intro: | | | | | x2

I woke up long after dawn, 20 years had come and gone

I know when it changed for me, a day in June you came to me

I've seen through someone else's eyes with nothing on the other side

Every motel, every town pieces scattered all around

Promises that I can't be, someone's heart that I can't keep

Days so long I couldn't speak, roads so rocky I can't sleep

But I've seen things so beautiful all around this broken world

That pale in comparison to you

E B A E B E

Caroline I'm on my way back home to you

A E F#

Imagine what I'm going through without you by my side

B E B A E B E

It's been a long, long time, oh won't you say a prayer for me

A E F# B

I hope you will remember me, you are always on my mind

I have seen the canyon lands, crooked lines like in your hands

You'd swear the earth was split in two, I wouldn't lie I promise you

That I have seen it, you will too, you could not believe if not for

Photographs I took for you, Caroline

They've built towers to the sky it hurts sometimes to watch them try

They run themselves into the ground but I know you will love them

And their city lights and city sounds, there's beauty in the struggle

Anytime I feel it get me down I see you smiling

E B A E B E

Caroline I'm on my way back home to you

Imagine what I'm going through without you by my side
