Ryan Adams Oh My Sweet Carolina written by Ryan Adams
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
