      Not sure why the other versions lack all the chord changes. I refrenced this from a James Taylor Songbook.

F               Bb      F/A  Gm7 C7
In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina
Bb                   C7
Can't you see the sunshine
Bb                          C7
Can't you just feel the moonshine
F             F/E    Dm        Dm/C
Ain't it just like a friend of mine
   Bb     F/A       G7  C
To hit me from behind
        F        Dm7   Gm7 C      F
Yes I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind

[Verse]
F             Eb   
Karen she's a silver sun
         Bb               C        C#dim   Dm
You best walk her way and watch it shinin'
          Bb                C    Bb C
Watch her watch the mornin' come
  Bb          F/A               Dm7  G7
A silver tear appearing now I'm cryin'
Gm7    C7  F      Dm7   Gm7   C7    F 
Ain't I,   goin' to Carolina in my mind

F                      Eb                 
There ain't no doubt it no ones mind
     Bb               C     C#dim  Dm
That loves the finest thing around
        Bb                 C    Bb C
Whisper something soft and kind
   Bb            F/A                  Dm7 G7
And hey babe the sky's on fire, I'm Dyin'
Gm7    C7  F        Dm7  Gm7    C  F
Ain't I,   goin' to Carolina in my mind

[Chorus]
F               Bb      F/A  Gm7   C7
In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina
Bb                   C7
Can't you see the sunshine
Bb                          C7
Can't you just feel the moonshine
F             F/E    Dm        Dm/C
Ain't it just like a friend of mine

To hit me from behind
        F        Dm7   Gm7  C   F
Yes I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind

[Verse]
F               Eb
Dark and silent late last night
          Bb                        C  C#dim   Dm
I think I might have heard the highway calling
         Bb                   C   Bb C
Geese in flight and dogs that bite
Bb                  F/A           Dm7 G7 Gm7  C7
Signs that might be omens say I'm going, going
    F       Dm7  Gm7  C7   F
I'm gone to Carolina in my mind

[Bridge]
       Bb           C                    Dm
With a holy host of others standing 'round me
Am7               Gm7              Bb   C7
Still I'm on the dark side of the moon
       Eb               Bb                F
And it seems like it goes on like this forever
         Eb          Bb/D  
You must forgive me
Gm7    C7      F       Dm7  Gm7  C7    F
If I'm up and gone to Carolina in my mind

[Chorus Outro]
F               Bb      F/A  Gm7 C7
In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina
Bb                   C7
Can't you see the sunshine
Bb                          C7
Can't you just feel the moonshine
F             F/E    Dm        Dm/C
Ain't it just like a friend of mine
   Bb          C7
To HIT me from behind
        F     F/E  Dm  Dm/C  Gm7  C      F    F/E  Dm Dm/C
