Lyrics and Music by James Taylor

Intro: F# | B B/Bb | G#m7 | C#7sus4

Chorus:
     F#             B       B/Bb G#m7 C#
     In my mind I’m gone to Carolina.
     B                 C#
     Can’t you see the sunshine?
     G#m7                    C#7sus4 C#
     Can’t you just feel the moonshining?
     F#            C#/F   Ebm       C#sus4
     Ain’t it just like a friend of mine
        B      F#/Bb   G#7
     To hit me from behind?
     C#7      F#
     Yes, I’m gone
        Ebm7 G#m7 C#7sus4 F#
     To Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: F# | F#

F#             E
Karen, she’s a silver sun,
           B
You’d best walk her away
    C#       Bb7/D    Ebm
And watch it shining.
          B                    C# C#sus4 C#
Watch her watch the morning come.
  B             F#/Bb
A silver tear appearing now
    Ebm7 G#7 G#m7    C#7
I’m crying, ain’t I?
    F#      Ebm7 G#m7 C#7sus4 F#
I’m gone to Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: F# | F#

      F#                Eadd9
There ain’t no doubt in noone’s mind
     B                 C#     Bb7/D  Ebm
That love’s the finest thing around.
        B                   C#   C#add9
Whisper something soft and kind.
    B                F#/Bb
And hey, babe, the sky’s on fire,
    Ebm7 G#7 G#m7   C#7
I’m dying, ain’t I?
    F#      Ebm7 G#m7 C#7sus4 F#
I’m gone to Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: F# | F#

Chorus:
     F#             B       G#m7 C#add9
     In my mind I’m gone to Carolina.
     B                 C#add9
     Can’t you see the sunshine?
     G#m7                    C#
     Can’t you just feel the moonshining?
     F#            C#/F   Ebm       C#sus4
     Ain’t it just like a friend of mine
        B      F#/Bb  G#7
     To hit me from behind?
     C#7      F#
     Yes, I’m gone
        Ebm7 G#m7 C#7sus4 F#
     To Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: F# | F#

F#              E
Dark and silent late last night,
          B
I think I might have heard
    C#      Bb7/D    Ebm
The highway calling.
               B                    C# C#add9
Geese in flight and dogs that bite.
    B                   F#/Bb
The signs that might be omens say
    Ebm7 G#7   G#m7 C#7sus4
I’m going, I’m going,
    F#      Ebm7 G#m7 C#7sus4 F#
I’m gone to Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: F# | F#

          B            C#
   With a Holy host of others
              Ebm
   Standing around me,
   Bbm              G#m
   Still I’m on the dark side
          B     C#
   Of the moon.
          E
   And it seems like
           B               F#
   It goes on like this forever.
               E        G#m7/Eb G#m7
   You must forgive me…
   C#7sus4       F#
   If I’m up and gone
      Ebm7 G#m7 C#sus4 F#
   To Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: F# | F#

Chorus:
     F#             B       G#m7 C#
     In my mind I’m gone to Carolina.
     B                 C#
     Can’t you see the sunshine?
     G#m7                    C#
     Can’t you just feel the moonshining?
     F#            C#/F   Ebm       C#
     Ain’t it just like a friend of mine
        B      F#/Bb  G#7
     To hit me from behind?
     C#7sus4  F#
     Yes, I’m gone
        F#/Bb B F#/Bb G#m7 C#7sus4 F#
     To Carolina in my mind.

              B       F#/Bb G#m7 C#7sus4 F#
     Then I’m gone to Carolina in my mind.

     B       F#/Bb G#m7 C#7sus4 F#
     Gone to Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: F# C#/F | Ebm7 C#

     B     F#/Bb G#m7 C#7sus4 F#
     Gone, I’m gone, I’m gone.

Instrumental: F# C#/F | Ebm7 C#

     B        F#/Bb   G#m7
     Say nice things about me,
         C#7sus4 F# C#/F Ebm7    C#
     ’Cause I’m gone southbound.
     B     F#/Bb  G#m
     Carry on without me,
     C#7sus4 F#
     I’m gone…
