4/22/2011 Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond Pattern: D, U, D, U Warning: The intro riff to this song isn't real easy, and might not be a riff that you want to play live. I didn't do it on the video because I kept losing track of the song. However, with an added guitarist it will work great.
