[Chorus]
C              F           G
In my mind, I'm going to Carolina
F                  G
Can't you see the sunshine
F                       G
Can't you just feel the moonshine
C                    Am
Ain't it just like a friend of mine
   F      C     G
To hit me from behind
         C              F         C
Yes, I'm going to Carolina in my mind


[Verse 1]
C            F
Karen, she's a silver sun
         F                G
You best walk her way and watch it shinin’
Am         F               G
Watch her watch the morning come
   F            C               Am  G   F  G
A silver tear appearing now I'm crying, ain't I?
C            F         C
Gone to Carolina in my mind
      C                 F
There ain't no doubt in no one's mind
     F                G
That love's the finest thing around
Am       F                 G
Whisper something soft and kind
    F                C                Am  G   F  G
And hey, babe, the sky's on fire. I'm dying, ain't I?
    C            F           C
I'm going to Carolina in my mind


[Chorus]
 C                   F           G
Cause in my mind I‘ve gone to Carolina
F                  G
Can‘t you see the sunshine
F                       G
Can’t you just feel the moonshine
C                     Am
Ain’t it just like a friend of mine
   F      C    G
To hit me from behind
         C          F           C
Yes, i’m gone to Carolina in my mind


[Verse 2]
C                F
Dark and silent late last night
          F                    G               Am
I think I might have heard the highway calling
          F                   G
Geese in flight and dogs that bite
     F                  C              Am G    F  G
The signs that might be omens say "I'm going, going now"
C           F           C
Gone to Carolina in my mind


[Bridge]
        Am             F                 G
With a holy host of others standing around me
C                F                 G
Still I'm on the dark side of the moon
       F                                C
And it feels like it goes on like this forever
         Am          G
You must forgive me
              C           F           C
If I'm up and gone to Carolina in my mind


[Chorus]
        C              F            G
'Cause in my mind, I'm going to Carolina
F                 G
Can't you see the sunshine
F                        G
Can't you just feel the moonshine
C                     Am
Ain't it just like a friend of mine
   F      C    G
To hit me from behind
          C           F           C
Yes, I'm going to Carolina in my mind
