Carolina On 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

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





 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!
