C   F  G
 
[Verse 1]
Am  G     Am   F
Caro line, Caro line
   C           F            G
I never could leave you to struggle
Am      G     Am       F
Hold the line, hold the line
C        F            G
I'll be there on the double
Am  G     Am  F
In   time, in   time
C        F        G
Everyone does see trouble
 
 
[Chorus]
              Am          F            G
And you don't need to know why when you cry
          Am          F
You don't need to know why
          Am          F            G
You don't need to know why when you cry
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am      G     Am     F
Violet's eyes, Violet plays
 C          F           G
Going back home to the Great Lakes
          Am     G
Where the cattail sways
          Am      F
With the lonesome loon
 C           F         G
Riding that train in late June
 
 
[Chorus]
         Am     F          G
With the windows wide by my side
         Am     F
With the windows wide
         Am     F          G
With the windows wide by my side
 
 
[Verse 3]
         Am      G            Am   F
And the clusters fell, like an empty bell
C       F             G
Meteor shower at the motel
           Am   G          Am    F
Where the empty space is a saving grace
C           F         G
Making good time and doing well
          Am       G           Am     F
Still the question sings, like Saturn's rings
 C         F             G
Maybe she knows and she won't tell
 
 
[Chorus]
 
              Am          F            G
But you don't need to know why when you cry
          Am          F
You don't need to know why
          Am          F            G
You don't need to know why when you cry
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
      Am       G             Am     F
And I find you there in your country flair
  C            F          G
Middle of the river in a lawn chair
            Am     G              Am    F
With your wrinkled hands and your silver hair
  C           F            G
Leaving here soon and you know where
              Am     G              Am      F
To where the cattail sways with the lonesome loon
           C           F             G
You'll be riding that train in late June
 
 
[Chorus]
         Am     F             G
With the windows wide by your side
         Am     F
With the windows wide
         Am     F             G
With the windows wide by your side
          Am          F
You don't need to know why
          Am          F            G
You don't need to know why when you cry
 
[Instrumental]
Am G
