I launched off of others' chords here but fixed a couple, 
fixed some spelling and added all chords so I don't have to remember them!
Capo 2nd fret (3rd fret for live version).
[Verse 1]
C
  I went down to Houston
      F                C
And I stopped in San Antone
                                G
I PASSED up the station for the bus
      F                 C
I was TRYIN' to find me somethin'
      Am               F
But I wasn't sure just what
      C             G               C
Man I ended up with pockets full of dust
   C
Oh I went on down to Cleveland
      F          C
And I ended up insane
  C                                      G
I bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance
    F              C
And I was spendin' money
         Am              F
Like the way it likes to rain
      C             G               C
Man I ended up with pockets full of cane
[Refrain]
      Am F      C
Oh my sweet Carolina
Am       F          G
 What compels me to go
      Am  F      C
Oh my sweet disposition
        Am      G        F
May you one day carry me home
[Verse 2]
        C
I ain't NEVER been to Vegas
      F             C
But I gambled up my life
         C                                   G
Buildin' newsprint boats I raced the sewer mains
F                 C
Tryin' to find me somethin'
      Am               F
But I wasn't sure just what
      C            G                 C
Funny how they say some things never change
[Refrain]
      Am F      C
Oh my sweet Carolina
Am       F         G
 What compels me to go
      Am  F      C
Oh my sweet disposition
        Am      G        F
May you one day carry me home
[Solo]
C
[Verse 3]
C
Up here in the city
           F                  C
feels like things are closing in
    C                                  G
The sunset's just my light bulb burning out
F           C
  I miss Kentucky
      Am          F
and I miss my family
        C                    G                 C
All the sweetest winds, they blow across the South
[Refrain]
      Am F      C
Oh my sweet Carolina
Am       F          G
 What compels me to go
      Am  F      C
Oh my sweet disposition
        Am      G        C
May you one day carry me home
        Am      G        C  F
May you one day carry me home
[Outro]
Am      G        C
Am      G        C
