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
Play main riff x 2 Here
Verse 3:
D                         G                  D
I ain't never been to Vegas but I gambled all my life
A
Building newsprint boats I raced in sewer mains
G                 D               Bm     A         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
(repeat chorus)
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)
During the verses 3 and 4, add small hammer on such as
D|--2h4--|
between some chords to make it sound better.
I thinks this tab is 100% ok, but if there are any suggestions or corrections then let
me know
Daniel G

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Jesus Average	#1 by Jesus Christ at Oct 3, 2007 at 9:30 PM EST
	Ryan Adams sings about Carolina in many of his songs, and this song (and others) takes on different meanings when you consider that it is also a woman's name. He is traveling around, lost, distracting himself from life with random cities and meaningless activities, hoping to return home to her.

No Picture Jordan Rhythm Player	#2 by Jordan at Oct 6, 2007 at 12:42 AM EST
	the best version of this song - ever! (well, at least so far)

No Picture Fatty [eats chi Average	#3 by Fatty [eats children] kid at Oct 8, 2007 at 9:28 AM EST
	i love this song its so nostalgic..."the sunsets just my lightbulb burning out" i want to meet ryan adams and just hug him

No Picture Collin Average	#4 by Collin at Oct 9, 2007 at 9:02 AM EST
	this is such an incredibly amazing song, and i think ryan adams does it in such an elegantly longing, melancholy way that intensifies the lyrics so much more

No Picture Klint Average	#5 by Klint flowers at Oct 15, 2007 at 4:54 AM EST
	This song is insane. I'm listening to it for only my second time right now... and it's definitely my new favourite. I think a lot of people should take a listen to it. It's very straight forward, pretty much what Hunter said,but it's longing for the south, Carolina to be specific. GIve it a listen if you happen to read this and you haven't listen. You definitely won't be disappointed.

No Picture dylan Average	#6 by dylan markus at Oct 17, 2007 at 2:51 AM EST
	his best song period, the cover that adam duritz from counting corws does is amazing too. you can jsut hear the longing in his voice for everything he's left behind

No Picture claireus Wanna Be	#7 by claireus s at Oct 19, 2007 at 9:34 AM EST
	Amen to that.
