Carolina In My Mind Tab

by James Taylor


CHORUS:

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

            
Karen she's a silver sun
                         
You best walk her way and watch it shining
                        
Watch her watch the morning come
                                      

A silver tear appearing now I'm cryin, ain't I?
                    
Going to Carolina in my mind

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



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

                                        
With a holy host of others standing round me
                                    
Still I'm on the dark side of the moon
                                    
And it seems like it goes on like this forever
                     
You must forgive me
                                 
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 ). It'll sound nice, but it sounds the best if 
do it like this:

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

Good luck!
