            [Chorus]

G             C           D
In my mind I'm going to Carolina
C                 D
Can't you see the sunshine
C                       D
Can't you just feel the moonshine
G                 Em
Maybe just like a friend of mine
   C      G    D
It hit me from behind
C   D   G        D   C    D     G
Yes I'm going to Carolina in my mind


[Verse 1]

G            C
Karen she's a silver sun
         C                D
You best walk her way and watch it shining
Em        C                D
Watch her watch the morning come
  C           G                 Em D   C    
D
A silver tear appearing now I'm cryin, ain't I?
G        D    C   D     G
Going to Carolina in my mind

      G                C
There ain't no doubt it no one's mind
     C                D
That love's the finest thing around
Em      C                  D
Whisper something warm and kind
    C            G                  Em D  C 
   D
And hey babe the sky's on fire, I'm dying, ain't I?
G        D   C    D     G
Going to Carolina in my mind


[Chorus]

G             C           D
In my mind I'm going to Carolina
C                 D
Can't you see the sunshine
C                       D
Can't you just feel the moonshine
G                 Em
Maybe just like a friend of mine
   C      G    D
It hit me from behind
C   D   G        D   C    D     G
Yes I'm going to Carolina in my mind


[Verse 2]

G                C
Dark and silent late last night
          C                    D
I think I might have heard the highway calling
Em       C                    D
Geese in flight and dogs that bite
C                   G           Em D   C D
Signs that might be omens say I going, going
    G        D   C    D     G
I'm going to Carolina in my mind


[Chorus]

G             C           D
In my mind I'm going to Carolina
C                 D
Can't you see the sunshine
C                       D
Can't you just feel the moonshine
G                 Em
Maybe just like a friend of mine
   C      G    D
It hit me from behind
C   D   G        D   C    D     G
Yes I'm going to Carolina in my mind


[Outro]

       Em           C               Em       D
With a holy host of others standing round me
G                C                Em    D
Still I'm on the dark side of the moon
       C                  C       D    G
And it seems like it goes on like this forever
         Em            D
You must forgive me
              G       D   C    D     G
If I'm up and gone to Carolina in my mind


[Chorus]

G             C           D
In my mind I'm going to Carolina
C                 D
Can't you see the sunshine
C                       D
Can't you just feel the moonshine
G                 Em
Maybe just like a friend of mine
   C      G    D
It hit me from behind
C   D   G        D   C    D     G
Yes I'm going to Carolina in my mind



For the D in every 3rd line of the verses, you can put your pinky down on the high G 
beside your middle finger which is on the F#). It'll sound nice, but it sounds the best if 
do it like this:

                            D   (wait) (add the pinky) (take it off)
"Whisper something warm and kind"

Good luck!
