Lyrics and Music by James Taylor

Intro: C | F F | Dm7 | G7

Chorus:
     C              F            Dm7  G
     In my mind I’m gone to Carolina.
     F                 G
     Can’t you see the sunshine?
     Dm7                     G7     G
     Can’t you just feel the moonshining?
     C             G      Am        G
     Ain’t it just like a friend of mine
        F      C       D7
     To hit me from behind?
     G7       C
     Yes, I’m gone
        Am7  Dm7  G7     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       Am
And watch it shining.
          F                    G
Watch her watch the morning come.
  F             C
A silver tear appearing now
    Am7  D7  Dm7     G7
I’m crying, ain’t I?
    C       Am7  Dm7  G7     C
I’m gone to Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: C | C

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

Instrumental: C | C

Chorus:
     C              F       Dm7  G
     In my mind I’m gone to Carolina.
     F                 G
     Can’t you see the sunshine?
     Dm7                     G
     Can’t you just feel the moonshining?
     C             G      Am        G
     Ain’t it just like a friend of mine
        F      C      D7
     To hit me from behind?
     G7       C
     Yes, I’m gone
        Am7  Dm7  G7     C
     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       Am
The highway calling.
               F                    G
Geese in flight and dogs that bite.
    F                   C
The signs that might be omens say
    Am7  D7    Dm7  G7
I’m going, I’m going,
    C       Am7  Dm7  G7     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
   You must forgive me…
   G7            C
   If I’m up and gone
      Am7  Dm7  G     C
   To Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: C | C

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

     To Carolina in my mind.

     Gone, I’m gone, I’m gone.

Instrumental: C G | Am7 G

     F        C       Dm7
     Say nice things about me,
         G7      C G    Am7      G
     ’Cause I’m gone southbound.
     F     C      Dm
     Carry on without me,
     G7     C
     I’m gone…
