Lyrics and Music by James Taylor

Intro: Bb | Eb Eb/D | Cm7 | F7sus4

Chorus:
     Bb             Eb      Eb/D Cm7  F
     In my mind I’m gone to Carolina.
     Eb                F
     Can’t you see the sunshine?
     Cm7                     F7sus4 F
     Can’t you just feel the moonshining?
     Bb            F/A    Gm        Fsus4
     Ain’t it just like a friend of mine
        Eb     Bb/D    C7
     To hit me from behind?
     F7       Bb
     Yes, I’m gone
        Gm7  Cm7  F7sus4 Bb
     To Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: Bb | Bb

Bb             G#
Karen, she’s a silver sun,
           Eb
You’d best walk her away
    F        D7/F#    Gm
And watch it shining.
          Eb                   F Fsus4 F
Watch her watch the morning come.
  Eb            Bb/D
A silver tear appearing now
    Gm7  C7  Cm7     F7
I’m crying, ain’t I?
    Bb      Gm7  Cm7  F7sus4 Bb
I’m gone to Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: Bb | Bb

      Bb                G#add9
There ain’t no doubt in noone’s mind
     Eb                F      D7/F#  Gm
That love’s the finest thing around.
        Eb                  F    Fadd9
Whisper something soft and kind.
    Eb               Bb/D
And hey, babe, the sky’s on fire,
    Gm7  C7  Cm7    F7
I’m dying, ain’t I?
    Bb      Gm7  Cm7  F7sus4 Bb
I’m gone to Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: Bb | Bb

Chorus:
     Bb             Eb      Cm7  Fadd9
     In my mind I’m gone to Carolina.
     Eb                Fadd9
     Can’t you see the sunshine?
     Cm7                     F
     Can’t you just feel the moonshining?
     Bb            F/A    Gm        Fsus4
     Ain’t it just like a friend of mine
        Eb     Bb/D   C7
     To hit me from behind?
     F7       Bb
     Yes, I’m gone

Bb              G#
Dark and silent late last night,
          Eb
I think I might have heard
    F       D7/F#    Gm
The highway calling.
               Eb                   F Fadd9
Geese in flight and dogs that bite.
    Eb                  Bb/D
The signs that might be omens say
    Gm7  C7    Cm7  F7sus4
I’m going, I’m going,
    Bb      Gm7  Cm7  F7sus4 Bb
I’m gone to Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: Bb | Bb

          Eb           F
   With a Holy host of others
              Gm
   Standing around me,
   Dm               Cm
   Still I’m on the dark side
          Eb    F
   Of the moon.
          G#
   And it seems like
           Eb              Bb
   It goes on like this forever.
               G#       Cm7/G   Cm7
   You must forgive me…
   F7sus4        Bb
   If I’m up and gone
      Gm7  Cm7  Fsus4 Bb
   To Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: Bb | Bb

Chorus:
     Bb             Eb      Cm7  F
     In my mind I’m gone to Carolina.

     Can’t you see the sunshine?
     Cm7                     F
     Can’t you just feel the moonshining?
     Bb            F/A    Gm        F
     Ain’t it just like a friend of mine
        Eb     Bb/D   C7
     To hit me from behind?
     F7sus4   Bb
     Yes, I’m gone

     Gone, I’m gone, I’m gone.

Instrumental: Bb F/A | Gm7 F

     Eb       Bb/D    Cm7
     Say nice things about me,
         F7sus4  Bb F/A Gm7      F
     ’Cause I’m gone southbound.
     Eb    Bb/D   Cm
     Carry on without me,
     F7sus4 Bb
     I’m gone…
