Verse 1
    C5                         F5                   C5
I went down to Houston and I stopped in San Antone
    C5                            G5
I passed up the station for the bus
      F5                 C5               A5               F5
Was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what
          C5          G5               C5
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:
      A5  F5      C5      A5       F5           G5
Oh my swe-eet Carolina, what compels me to go
      A5  F5         C5              A5      G5         F5
Oh my swe-eet disposition, may you one day carry me home

(repeat intro)
Verse 3:
    C5                                F5            C5 
I ain't never been to Vegas but I gambled up my life
   C5                                      G5
Building newsprint boats I raced to sewer mains
 F5                  C5              A5               C5
Trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what
           C5              G5                C5
Funny how they say that some things never change

(repeat chorus)

(piano break)
A5 F5 C5 G5 x3
C5 C5 A5 G5 F5

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)
         A5     G5        C5      F5
May you one day carry me ho____me.
       A5     G5        C5      F5
       A5     G5        C5
