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
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
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/james_taylor/carolina_in_my_mind_crd_ver_3.html )
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
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
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
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!
