Intro: C# | F# F#maj | Ebm7 | G#7sus4

Chorus:
     C#             F#      F#maj Ebm7 G#
     In my mind I’m gone to Carolina.
     F#                G#
     Can’t you see the sunshine?
     Ebm7                    G#7sus4 G#
     Can’t you just feel the moonshining?
     C#            G#     Bbm       G#sus4
     Ain’t it just like a friend of mine
        F#     C#      Eb7
     To hit me from behind?
     G#7      C#
     Yes, I’m gone
        Bbm7 Ebm7 G#7sus4 C#
     To Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: C# | C#

C#             B
Karen, she’s a silver sun,
           F#
You’d best walk her away
    G#       F7       Bbm
And watch it shining.
          F#                   G# G#sus4 G#
Watch her watch the morning come.
  F#            C#  
A silver tear appearing now
    Bbm7 Eb7 Ebm7    G#7
I’m crying, ain’t I?
    C#      Bbm7 Ebm7 G#7sus4 C#
I’m gone to Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: C# | C#

      C#                Badd9
There ain’t no doubt in noone’s mind
     F#                G#     F7     Bbm
That love’s the finest thing around.
        F#                  G#   G#add9
Whisper something soft and kind.
    F#               C#  
And hey, babe, the sky’s on fire,
    Bbm7 Eb7 Ebm7   G#7
I’m dying, ain’t I?
    C#      Bbm7 Ebm7 G#7sus4 C#
I’m gone to Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: C# | C#

Chorus:
     C#             F#      Ebm7 G#add9
     In my mind I’m gone to Carolina.
     F#                G#add9
     Can’t you see the sunshine?
     Ebm7                    G#
     Can’t you just feel the moonshining?
     C#            G#     Bbm       G#sus4
     Ain’t it just like a friend of mine
        F#     C#     Eb7
     To hit me from behind?
     G#7      C#
     Yes, I’m gone
        Bbm7 Ebm7 G#7sus4 C#
     To Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: C# | C#

C#              B
Dark and silent late last night,
          F#
I think I might have heard
    G#      F7       Bbm
The highway calling.
               F#                   G# G#add9
Geese in flight and dogs that bite.
    F#                  C#  
The signs that might be omens say
    Bbm7 Eb7   Ebm7 G#7sus4
I’m going, I’m going,
    C#      Bbm7 Ebm7 G#7sus4 C#
I’m gone to Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: C# | C#

          F#           G#
   With a Holy host of others
              Bbm
   Standing around me,
   Fm               Ebm
   Still I’m on the dark side
          F#    G#
   Of the moon.
          B
   And it seems like
           F#              C#
   It goes on like this forever.
               B        Ebm7        
   You must forgive me…
   G#7sus4       C#
   If I’m up and gone
      Bbm7 Ebm7 G#sus4 C#
   To Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: C# | C#

     Can’t you see the sunshine?
     Ebm7                    G#
     Can’t you just feel the moonshining?
     C#            G#     Bbm       G#
     Ain’t it just like a friend of mine
        F#     C#     Eb7
     To hit me from behind?
     G#7sus4  C#
     Yes, I’m gone

     Gone, I’m gone, I’m gone.

Instrumental: C# G# | Bbm7 G#

     F#       C#      Ebm7
     Say nice things about me,
         G#7sus4 C# G#  Bbm7     G#
     ’Cause I’m gone southbound.
     F#    C#     Ebm

     G#7sus4 C#
     I’m gone…
