Lyrics and Music by James Taylor


Intro: G | C C/B | Am7 | D7sus4

Chorus:
     G              C       C/B  Am7  D
     In my mind I’m gone to Carolina.
     C                 D
     Can’t you see the sunshine?
     Am7                     D7sus4 D
     Can’t you just feel the moonshining?
     G             D/F#   Em        Dsus4
     Ain’t it just like a friend of mine
        C      G/B     A7
     To hit me from behind?
     D7       G
     Yes, I’m gone
        Em7  Am7  D7sus4 G
     To Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: G | G

G              F
Karen, she’s a silver sun,
           C
You’d best walk her away
    D        B7/Eb    Em
And watch it shining.
          C                    D Dsus4 D
Watch her watch the morning come.
  C             G/B
A silver tear appearing now
    Em7  A7  Am7     D7
I’m crying, ain’t I?
    G       Em7  Am7  D7sus4 G
I’m gone to Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: G | G

      G                 Fadd9
There ain’t no doubt in noone’s mind
     C                 D      B7/Eb  Em
That love’s the finest thing around.
        C                   D    Dadd9
Whisper something soft and kind.
    C                G/B
And hey, babe, the sky’s on fire,
    Em7  A7  Am7    D7
I’m dying, ain’t I?
    G       Em7  Am7  D7sus4 G
I’m gone to Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: G | G

Chorus:
     G              C       Am7  Dadd9
     In my mind I’m gone to Carolina.
     C                 Dadd9
     Can’t you see the sunshine?
     Am7                     D
     Can’t you just feel the moonshining?
     G             D/F#   Em        Dsus4
     Ain’t it just like a friend of mine
        C      G/B    A7
     To hit me from behind?
     D7       G
     Yes, I’m gone
        Em7  Am7  D7sus4 G
     To Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: G | G

G               F
Dark and silent late last night,
          C
I think I might have heard
    D       B7/Eb    Em
The highway calling.
               C                    D Dadd9
Geese in flight and dogs that bite.
    C                   G/B
The signs that might be omens say
    Em7  A7    Am7  D7sus4
I’m going, I’m going,
    G       Em7  Am7  D7sus4 G
I’m gone to Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: G | G

          C            D
   With a Holy host of others
              Em
   Standing around me,
   Bm               Am
   Still I’m on the dark side
          C     D
   Of the moon.
          F
   And it seems like
           C               G
   It goes on like this forever.
               F        Am7/E   Am7
   You must forgive me…
   D7sus4        G
   If I’m up and gone
      Em7  Am7  Dsus4 G
   To Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: G | G

Chorus:
     G              C       Am7  D
     In my mind I’m gone to Carolina.
     C                 D
     Can’t you see the sunshine?
     Am7                     D
     Can’t you just feel the moonshining?
     G             D/F#   Em        D
     Ain’t it just like a friend of mine
        C      G/B    A7
     To hit me from behind?
     D7sus4   G
     Yes, I’m gone
        G/B  C G/B  Am7  D7sus4 G
     To Carolina in my mind.

     Gone, I’m gone, I’m gone.

Instrumental: G D/F# | Em7 D

     C        G/B     Am7
     Say nice things about me,
         D7sus4  G D/F# Em7      D
     ’Cause I’m gone southbound.
     C     G/B    Am
