Oh My Sweet Carolina

	  		 Standard Tuning 

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 


 

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 


 

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 


 

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
