Lyrics and Music by James Taylor


Intro: Bb | Eb Eb | Cm7 | F7

Chorus:
     Bb             Eb           Cm7  F
     In my mind I’m gone to Carolina.
     Eb                F
     Can’t you see the sunshine?
     Cm7                     F7     F
     Can’t you just feel the moonshining?
     Bb            F      Gm        F
     Ain’t it just like a friend of mine
        Eb     Bb      C7
     To hit me from behind?
     F7       Bb
     Yes, I’m gone
        Gm7  Cm7  F7     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       Gm
And watch it shining.
          Eb                   F
Watch her watch the morning come.
  Eb            Bb
A silver tear appearing now
    Gm7  C7  Cm7     F7
I’m crying, ain’t I?
    Bb      Gm7  Cm7  F7     Bb
I’m gone to Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: Bb | Bb

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

Instrumental: Bb | Bb

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

Instrumental: Bb | Bb

Bb              G#
Dark and silent late last night,
          Eb
I think I might have heard
    F       D7       Gm
The highway calling.
               Eb                   F
Geese in flight and dogs that bite.
    Eb                  Bb
The signs that might be omens say
    Gm7  C7    Cm7  F7
I’m going, I’m going,
    Bb      Gm7  Cm7  F7     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
   You must forgive me…
   F7            Bb
   If I’m up and gone
      Gm7  Cm7  F     Bb
   To Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: Bb | Bb

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

     Gone, I’m gone, I’m gone.

     Eb       Bb      Cm7
     Say nice things about me,
         F7      Bb F   Gm7      F
     ’Cause I’m gone southbound.
     Eb    Bb     Cm
     Carry on without me,
     F7     Bb
     I’m gone…
