Oh My Sweet Carolina (live)
Capo 1 Standard Tuning
DI went down to Houston
And I Gstopped at San DAntone
And I passed up the station for the Abus
And I was Gtryin to find me somethin
But I Dwasnt sAure just wGhat
And I Dended up with Gpockets full of Ddust
And DI went down to Cleveland
Thats Gwhere I went Dinsane
I bought a borrowed suite and learned to Adance
And GI was spendin money
Like the Dway it Alikes to Grain
Man I Dended up with Gpockets full of Dcane
Refrain:
GOh my sweet DCarolina
GWhat compels me to Ago
GOh my sweet Ddisposition
DMay you one day cAarry me hGome
DNever been to Vegas
But I Ggambled of my Dlife
Though the newsprint boats are raced in sewer Amains
And I was Gtryin to find me somthin
But I Dwasnt sAure just wGhat
DFunny how they say Gsome things never Dchange
Refrain:
GOh my sweet DCarolina
GWhat compels me to Ago
GOh my sweet Ddisposition
DMay you one day cAarry me hGome
And Dout here in the city 
seems like Gthings are closing Din
The sunset's just my light bulb burning Aout
I Gmiss Kentucky 
and I Dmiss my AfamilGy
All the Dsweetest winds they Gblow across the DSouth
Refrain:
GOh my sweet DCarolina
GWhat compels me to Ago
GOh my sweet Ddisposition
DMay you one day cAarry me hGome
DMay you one day cAarry me hGome
