Dm            Bb
If you're looking for a star
             Am      C
Then chances are you won't go far
            Dm              Am          C
When you're searching in an awful funny way
              Dm        Bb
And there's a glow from above
Am                   C
Your last chance for love
       Dm                 Am                C
And it won't be here when morning shows her hand
       Dm               Bb
It's a love you've been shown
      Am             C
And a time for being alone
       Dm                       Am               C
'Cause people like me just keep running back for more

[Chorus]
        Am            C
And now Caroline stop crying
         F                     Am
It won't seem like a long long time
    Dm                    Am              C
And I'll be here when the Rockies thaw in spring
        Am                             C
I can't bring you 'cause it's just too cold
              F                 Am
And while I'm out here digging alone
         Dm                   Am             C
Well I'll bring you home gold nuggets in the spring

[verse 2]
        Dm                  Bb
And now sometimes while I'm out
       Am                     C
If you think of things I'm without
     Dm                Am            C
Then you won't feel so sorry for yourself
            Dm                Bb
'Cause it's clear when you're near
Am                    C
How things change and then
           Dm             Am                  C
You'll get hungry for the gold you think I've found

[Chorus]
         Am            C
I found, Caroline stop crying
         F                     Am
It won't seem like a long long time
    Dm                    Am              C
And I'll be here when the Rockies thaw in spring
        Am                             C
I can't bring you 'cause it's just too cold
              F                 Am
And while I'm out here digging alone
         Dm                   Am             C
Well I'll bring you home gold nuggets in the spring

[Outro]
                Dm            Bb
And when you're looking for a star
Am                C
  Chances are you   won't go far
             Dm                Am            C
When you're    searching in an   awful funny way

        Am            C
And now Caroline stop crying
         F                     Am
It won't seem like a long long time
    Dm                    Am              C
And I'll be here when the Rockies thaw in spring
         Dm                   Am             C
When I bring you home gold nuggets in the spring
