Capo 1
D
I went down to Houston
G D
And I stopped at San Antone
A
And I passed up the station for the bus
G
And I was tryin to find me somethin
D A G
But I wasnt sure just what
D G D
And I ended up with pockets full of dust
D
And I went down to Cleveland
G D
Thats where I went insane
A
I bought a borrowed suite and learned to dance
G
And I was spendin money
D A G
Like the way it likes to rain
D G D
Man I ended up with pockets full of cane
Refrain:
G D
Oh my sweet Carolina
G A
What compels me to Go
G D
Oh my sweet disposition
D A G
May you one day carry me home
D
Never been to Vegas
G D
But I gambled of my life
A
Though the newsprint boats are raced in sewer mains
G
And I was tryin to find me somthin
D A G
But I wasnt sure just what
D G D
Funny how they say some things never change
Refrain:
G D
Oh my sweet Carolina
G A
What compels me to Go
G D
Oh my sweet disposition
D A G
May you one day carry me home
D
And out here in the city
G D
seems like things are closing in
A
The sunset's just my light bulb burning out
G
I miss Kentucky
D A G
and I miss my family
D G D
All the sweetest winds they blow across the South
Refrain:
G D
Oh my sweet Carolina
G A
What compels me to Go
G D
Oh my sweet disposition
D A G
May you one day carry me home
D A G
May you one day carry me home
