G 
She’s got a good head resting on her shoulders  
        G                                             C 
She’s a couple minutes older than her twin sister Caroline  
     C                     G 
With thighs like the summertime  
          G  
She not a dancer, she’s standing in the corner  
      G                                                    C 
Every time the band performing plays a waltz or the cotton eye  
                         G 
Trying like the devil to hide  
 
Chorus:  
Em            C 
Carly, I'm so sorry 
       G                     D   
That I couldn’t I’ve met you first  
           Em                 C             D  
I’ve never wanted somebody so badly that it hurts  
Em            C 
Carly, I'm so sorry  
       G                      D 
That I couldn’t have made you mine  
        Em                    C                   D     
I’ll be out on the floor till just before closing time  
                 G 
Dancing with Caroline  
 
She’s got a big heart, she keeps it undercover  
She’s a fighter and a lover and a rebel when she’s alone  
Trading Johnny Cash for the Rollin Stones  
 
Chorus 
 
Instrumental  
 
Bridge:  
D                     B7                   Em       D      C 
People say that there ain’t no way you can tell the two apart  
D                     B7            Em        D     C 
But I wish they could find a way to tell that to my heart  
            Em        D     C 
Cuz I can’t tell that to my heart  
      D 
To my heart
