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

(repeat intro)

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

(repeat chorus)

(piano break)
A   X3
G

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)

                 G
May you one day carry me ho____me.
