[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
