Oh My Sweet Carolina

original chord sheet from http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/r/ryan_adams/oh_my_sweet_carolina_crd.htm


these are the true chords. the original chord sheet has a capo on 2, which makes this easier to play on guitar but trickier on other instruments that cannot be transposed as easily.


here is the original studio performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJY50iaYqJY

Verse 1
    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


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:
      Bm  G      D      Bm       G           A
Oh my swe-eet Carolina, what compels me to go
      Bm  G         D              Bm      A         G
Oh my swe-eet disposition, may you one day carry me home


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

D D/C# Bm A 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

May you one day carry me ho____me.
Bm     A        D G
Bm     A        D
