Sweet Caroline
(D)                         E        D/F# E/G#
Good times never seemed so good
A             D
I've been inclined
E    D   C#m  Bm
To believe they never would but now   I
Look at the night
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurtin' runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when I'm with you
Warm, touchin' warm
Reachin' out
Touchin' me
Touchin' you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Oh, no, no
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Sweet Caroline

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Andrea Average	#1 by Andrea Lauria at Sep 28, 2007 at 7:01 AM EST
	It's much cooler when it's played/sung at Madison Square Garden after a Rangers win than at Fenway...

No Picture Ben Wanna Be	#2 by Ben Koss at Sep 29, 2007 at 2:37 AM EST
	This song makes me happy like no other! Loooove it.

No Picture Ashley Rhythm Player	#3 by Ashley 666 at Sep 29, 2007 at 9:41 PM EST
	Yeah DEF an awesome NY RANGERS Song!!!

No Picture aleXeXeX Rhythm Player	#4 by aleXeXeX at Oct 3, 2007 at 10:04 AM EST
	No, the 7th inning stretch they play Take Me Out To The Ballgame. The middle of the 8th belongs to Neil. It's the perfect baseball song - "was in the spring, and spring became the summer" - baseball starts in spring, and is in full swing by summer. And when you're at Fenway with your friends or family or someone you love and the Sox are winning and this song comes on, good times never seem so good!!

No Picture Satan SAF! Rhythm Player	#5 by Satan SAF! Lucifer at Oct 8, 2007 at 2:15 AM EST
	Great drinking tune

No Picture The Real Slim S Average	#6 by The Real Slim Shady at Oct 11, 2007 at 4:13 AM EST
	Definitely a favorite of mine. This song says is all when it comes to loving somone.

No Picture isaac Average	#7 by isaac fritsch at Oct 11, 2007 at 8:42 AM EST
	im pretty sure its played during the 7th inning strech at fenway not in the 8th inning, and i agree its better at fenway than MSG, i dont really like Neil but this song is pretty good, and can the Ranger fans say they had him play it live during the game? i dont think so.

No Picture Dominic Badass	#8 by Dominic Smith at Oct 12, 2007 at 12:30 AM EST
	this is like a total rememberance song for me, they played it at my grandfathers funeral, i cry when i hear it, unless im at fenway then i just sulk and get all quiet

No Picture alex Lead Player	#9 by alex beaulieu at Oct 12, 2007 at 6:12 AM EST
	This song is the shiz. I hate it when you tap your foot but anytime I listen to this song I have to. I hear that bass. I tap my foot. I start to sing along. I can't help it. This song perfectly describes a perfect relationship.

No Picture Zach Average	#10 by Zach at Oct 12, 2007 at 10:01 PM EST
	There is this bar where i am from, and every nite when they call last call they turn on the lights and start to play this song, but no one leaves everyone is trashed and is swaying back and forth singing this song, with arm around each other, it's great every time i go i can't wait for the bar to close .

No Picture Sam Average	#11 by Sam Ordway at Oct 13, 2007 at 2:27 AM EST
	As for the meaning of the song, I think he's singing about being happy with a fling. Just a lighthearted song, and it's hard not to sing along. I always wondered why everyone knew this song around here, and now I know. I live in the Boston suburbs but have been to Fenway park only once. Those tickets are too expensive. Such is the downfall of having a champion team, an insanely loyal fan base and a small ball park.

No Picture THE RONANATOR ( Average	#12 by THE RONANATOR (aka.Ronan) downer at Oct 14, 2007 at 11:54 AM EST
	I love Neil.
