Written & Performed by James Taylor
Transcribed by Paul ()
[Intro]
D G G/F Em7 G/A
[Chorus]
D G G/F# A
In my mind I've gone to Carolina
G A Em7 A
Can't you see the sunshine, can't you just feel the moon shining?
D A/C# Bm A G D/F# E7
Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind
G/A D Bm7 Em7 G/A D
Yes, I'm going to Carol - ina in my mind
[Verse 1]
D C G A
Karen, she's a silver sun, you'd best walk away and watch it shining
Bm G A
Watch her watch the morning come
G D/F# Bm7 Em7 Asus4 A7
A silver tear appearing now I'm crying, ain't I?
D Bm7 Em7 G/A D
I've gone to Carol - ina in my mind
[Verse 2]
D C G A
There ain't no doubt in no one's mind that love's the finest thing around
Bm G A
Whisper something soft and kind
G D/F# Bm7 Em7 Asus4 A7
And hey baby, the sky's on fire, I'm dying, ain't I?
D Bm7 Em7 G/A D
I've gone to Carolina in my mind
[Chorus]
D G G/F# A
In my mind I've gone to Carolina
G A Em7 A
Can't you see the sunshine, can't you just feel the moon shining?
D A/C# Bm A G D/F# E7
Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind
G/A D Bm7 Em7 G/A D
Yes, I'm going to Carol - ina in my mind
[Verse 3]
D C G A
Dark and silent late last night I think I might have heard the highway calling
Bm G A
Geese in flight and dogs that bite
G D/F# Bm7 Em7 Asus4 A7
The signs that it might be omens say I'm going, going
D Bm7 Em7 G/A D
I've gone to Carolina in my mind
[Bridge]
D G A Bm
With a holy host of others standing around me
F#m7 Em7 G
Still I'm on the dark side of the moon
A C G D C G/B Em7
And it seems like this goes on like this forever, you must forgive me
G/A D Bm7 Em7 G/A D
If I'm up and gone to Carol - ina in my mind
[Chorus]
D G G/F Em7 G/A D (Repeat sequence to fade)
I'm gone say nice things about me cause I'm gone
Repeat and fade
