D                            G                D 
I went down to Houston and I stopped in San Antone 
D                               A 
I passed up the station for the bus 
    G                 D               Bm               G 
Was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what 
      D             A               D 
Man I ended up with pockets full of dust 
D                               G        D 
So I went on to Cleveland and I ended up insane 
D                                       A      
I bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance 
G              D              Bm              G 
I was spending money like the way it likes to rain 
      D              A              D 
Man I ended up with pockets full of cane 
      Bm    G     D  Bm      G          A 
Oh my Sweet Carolina what compels me to go 
      Bm    G      D             D       A        G 
Oh my Sweet Disposition  may you one day carry me home 
D                                  G                     D 
I ain't never been to Vegas but I gambled up my life 
D                                         A   Asus  A 
Building newsprint boats I raced in sewer mains 
G                 D               Bm               G 
Trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what 
      D                 A                 D 
Funny how they say that some things never change 
      Bm    G     D   Bm      G          A 
Oh my Sweet Carolina  what compels me to go 
      Bm  G      D              D       A        G 
Oh my Sweet Disposition may you one day carry me home 
 
SOLO 
 
D                                  G                 D 
Up here in the city it feels like things are closing in 
                                         A 
The sunset's just my light bulb burning out  
G         D           Bm        G  
I miss Kentucky and I miss my family 
        D                   A               D 
All the sweetest winds they blow across the south 
      Bm    G     D  Bm      G          A   Asus  A 
Oh my Sweet Carolina what compels me to go 
      Bm    G      D            D       A        G 
Oh my Sweet Disposition may you one day carry me home 
        Bm       A       D    
May you one day carry me home
