Lyrics and Music by James Taylor

Intro: C | F F/E | Dm7 | G7sus4

Chorus:
     C              F       F/E  Dm7  G
     In my mind I’m gone to Carolina.
     F                 G
     Can’t you see the sunshine?
     Dm7                     G7sus4 G
     Can’t you just feel the moonshining?
     C             G/B    Am        Gsus4
     Ain’t it just like a friend of mine
        F      C/E     D7
     To hit me from behind?
     G7       C
     Yes, I’m gone
        Am7  Dm7  G7sus4 C
     To Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: C | C

C              Bb
Karen, she’s a silver sun,
           F
You’d best walk her away
    G        E7/G#    Am
And watch it shining.
          F                    G Gsus4 G
Watch her watch the morning come.
  F             C/E
A silver tear appearing now
    Am7  D7  Dm7     G7
I’m crying, ain’t I?
    C       Am7  Dm7  G7sus4 C
I’m gone to Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: C | C

      C                 Bbadd9
There ain’t no doubt in noone’s mind
     F                 G      E7/G#  Am
That love’s the finest thing around.
        F                   G    Gadd9
Whisper something soft and kind.
    F                C/E
And hey, babe, the sky’s on fire,
    Am7  D7  Dm7    G7
I’m dying, ain’t I?
    C       Am7  Dm7  G7sus4 C
I’m gone to Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: C | C

Chorus:
     C              F       Dm7  Gadd9
     In my mind I’m gone to Carolina.
     F                 Gadd9
     Can’t you see the sunshine?
     Dm7                     G
     Can’t you just feel the moonshining?
     C             G/B    Am        Gsus4
     Ain’t it just like a friend of mine
        F      C/E    D7
     To hit me from behind?
     G7       C
     Yes, I’m gone

     To Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: C | C

C               Bb
Dark and silent late last night,
          F
I think I might have heard
    G       E7/G#    Am
The highway calling.
               F                    G Gadd9
Geese in flight and dogs that bite.
    F                   C/E
The signs that might be omens say
    Am7  D7    Dm7  G7sus4
I’m going, I’m going,
    C       Am7  Dm7  G7sus4 C
I’m gone to Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: C | C

          F            G
   With a Holy host of others
              Am
   Standing around me,
   Em               Dm
   Still I’m on the dark side
          F     G
   Of the moon.
          Bb
   And it seems like
           F               C
   It goes on like this forever.
               Bb       Dm7/A   Dm7
   You must forgive me…
   G7sus4        C
   If I’m up and gone
      Am7  Dm7  Gsus4 C
   To Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: C | C

Chorus:

     In my mind I’m gone to Carolina.

     Can’t you see the sunshine?
     Dm7                     G
     Can’t you just feel the moonshining?
     C             G/B    Am        G
     Ain’t it just like a friend of mine
        F      C/E    D7
     To hit me from behind?

     To Carolina in my mind.

     Gone, I’m gone, I’m gone.

Instrumental: C G/B | Am7 G

     F        C/E     Dm7
     Say nice things about me,
         G7sus4  C G/B  Am7      G
     ’Cause I’m gone southbound.
     F     C/E    Dm
     Carry on without me,

     I’m gone…
