Verse 1

C F C

I went down to Houston and I stopped in San Antone

C G

I passed up the station for the bus

F C Am F

Was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what

C G C

Man I ended up with pockets full of dust



Verse 2 (same chords):

So I went on to Cleveland and I ended up insane

Bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance

I was spendin' money like the way it likes to rain

Man I ended up with pockets full of cane



Chorus:

Am F C Am F G

Oh my swe-eet Carolina, what compels me to go

Am F C Am G F

Oh my swe-eet disposition, may you one day carry me home



(repeat intro)

Verse 3:

I ain't never been to Vegas but I gambled up my life

Building newsprint boats I raced to sewer mains

Trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what

Funny how they say that some things never change



(repeat chorus)



(piano break)

Am F C G x3

C C/B Am G F



Verse 4:

Up here in the city, it feels like things are closin' in

The sunset's just my light bulb burning out

I miss Kentucky and I miss my family

All the sweetest winds they blow across the south



(repeat chorus)

Am G C F

May you one day carry me ho____me.

Am G C F

Am G C
