[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]
   C                           F           C
So I went on to Cleveland and I ended up insane
   C                                  G
Bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance
   F            C             Am               F
I was spendin' money like the way it likes to rain
       C            G               C
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                       G        F
Oh my swe-eet disposition, may you one day carry me home

[Verse 3]
   C                              F              C
I ain't never been to Vegas but I gambled up my life
    C                                      G
Building newsprint boats I raced to sewer mains
      F             C              Am               F
Trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what
       C                G                  C
Funny how they say that some things never change

[Chorus]
      Am  F      C      Am       F          G
Oh my swe-eet Carolina, what compels me to go
      Am  F         C                      G         F
Oh my swe-eet disposition, may you one day carry me home

[Verse 4]
   C                                F                C
Up here in the city, it feels like things are closin' in
    C                                   G
The sunset's just my light bulb burning out
 F         C          Am           F
I miss Kentucky and I miss my family
          C                 G               C
All the sweetest winds they blow across the south

[Chorus]
      Am  F      C      Am       F          G
Oh my swe-eet Carolina, what compels me to go
      Am  F         C               C      G         F
Oh my swe-eet disposition, may you one day carry me home

[Outro]
         Am     G        C    F
May you one day carry me ho____me.
         Am     G        C    F
         Am     G        C
