Lyrics and Music by James Taylor

Intro: F | Bb Bbmaj | Gm7 | C7sus4

Chorus:
     F              Bb      Bbmaj Gm7 C
     In my mind I’m gone to Carolina.
     Bb                C
     Can’t you see the sunshine?
     Gm7                     C7sus4 C
     Can’t you just feel the moonshining?
     F             C      Dm        Csus4
     Ain’t it just like a friend of mine
        Bb     F       G7
     To hit me from behind?
     C7       F
     Yes, I’m gone
        Dm7  Gm7  C7sus4 F
     To Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: F | F

F              Eb
Karen, she’s a silver sun,
           Bb
You’d best walk her away
    C        A7       Dm
And watch it shining.
          Bb                   C Csus4 C
Watch her watch the morning come.
  Bb            F   
A silver tear appearing now
    Dm7  G7  Gm7     C7
I’m crying, ain’t I?
    F       Dm7  Gm7  C7sus4 F
I’m gone to Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: F | F

      F                 Ebadd9
There ain’t no doubt in noone’s mind
     Bb                C      A7     Dm
That love’s the finest thing around.
        Bb                  C    Cadd9
Whisper something soft and kind.
    Bb               F   
And hey, babe, the sky’s on fire,
    Dm7  G7  Gm7    C7
I’m dying, ain’t I?
    F       Dm7  Gm7  C7sus4 F
I’m gone to Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: F | F

Chorus:
     F              Bb      Gm7  Cadd9
     In my mind I’m gone to Carolina.
     Bb                Cadd9
     Can’t you see the sunshine?
     Gm7                     C
     Can’t you just feel the moonshining?
     F             C      Dm        Csus4
     Ain’t it just like a friend of mine
        Bb     F      G7
     To hit me from behind?
     C7       F
     Yes, I’m gone
        Dm7  Gm7  C7sus4 F
     To Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: F | F

F               Eb
Dark and silent late last night,
          Bb
I think I might have heard
    C       A7       Dm
The highway calling.
               Bb                   C Cadd9
Geese in flight and dogs that bite.
    Bb                  F   
The signs that might be omens say
    Dm7  G7    Gm7  C7sus4
I’m going, I’m going,
    F       Dm7  Gm7  C7sus4 F
I’m gone to Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: F | F

          Bb           C
   With a Holy host of others
              Dm
   Standing around me,
   Am               Gm
   Still I’m on the dark side
          Bb    C
   Of the moon.
          Eb
   And it seems like
           Bb              F
   It goes on like this forever.
               Eb       Gm7         
   You must forgive me…
   C7sus4        F
   If I’m up and gone
      Dm7  Gm7  Csus4 F
   To Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: F | F

Chorus:
     F              Bb      Gm7  C
     In my mind I’m gone to Carolina.
     Bb                C
     Can’t you see the sunshine?
     Gm7                     C
     Can’t you just feel the moonshining?
     F             C      Dm        C
     Ain’t it just like a friend of mine
        Bb     F      G7
     To hit me from behind?
     C7sus4   F
     Yes, I’m gone

     To Carolina in my mind.

Instrumental: F C | Dm7 C

     Bb       F       Gm7
     Say nice things about me,
         C7sus4  F C    Dm7      C
     ’Cause I’m gone southbound.
     Bb    F      Gm
     Carry on without me,

     I’m gone…
