This is a song I wrote in Spain and partially partially there and partially here.
[D]
I
Was [Am] homesick at the time.
I didn't have [Bb] a home, but that doesn't [Abm] keep you from being [G] homesick sometimes [Ab] but I
[D] Wrote this tune this next one right here.
I [A] devised a little whistling [Gbm] introduction [G] for it.
[D] Okay like it
In
[G] [Em]
[A] [G] [D] my mind [G] I'm gone to [Em] Carolina
[D]
[B] [A] [G] Can't you see [A] the sunshine
[Em] Well, can't you just feel [A] the moonshine?
[D] And ain't it just [Bm] like a friend of mine [G] to hit [D] me from [E] [A] behind
Yes, [D] I'm gone to [Em] Carolina in [D] the mine
Karen she's a silver sun.
[G] You'd best walk away [Em] and watch [A] it [B] shine in
[Bm]
[G] watch her watch the morning [A] come a
[G]
Silvertier [D] appearing now, I'm [E]
crying [G] they die
[A] [D] Said I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
They ain't no doubt [C] and no [G] one's mind that loves the finest thing [D] around
[Bm]
Whispers [G] something soft [A] and kind [G] and hey, babe the [D] skies on fire.
I'm [E]
dying [Em] He died
[A] [D] Said I'm gone to [Em] [G] Carolina in the [D] mine
In my [G] mind, I'm gone [D] to [Em] [D] Carolina
[A] Can't [G]
you see [A] the sunshine?
[Em] Can't you just [A] feel the moonshine?
[D] And ain't it just [Bm] like a friend of mine [G] to hit [D] me from [E] [A] behind?
Yes, [D] I'm gone to [Em] Carolina [D] in the mine
Dark and [Cm] silent late last night.
[G] I think I might have heard the [A] highway [Bm] calling
He's in [G] flight and [A] dogs invite and
[G]
Signs, it [D] might be omen say I'm [E] going.
Yes.
I gotta [A] be going.
[D] I'm gone to [Em] Carolina
[D] in the mind
Now [G] with the holy [A] host of others [Eb] standing [Bm] around me
[Gbm] Still I'm on [E] the [Em] dark side of [G] the moon
[A] [Em] and it [C] looks like it [G] goes on like this [D] forever
You [C] must forgive
[G] me
[Em] If
[A] [D] I'm up and gone to [G] Carolina [D] in the mind
In my mind, [Gm] I'm gone to [Em] Carolina
[A] See [G]
the [A] sunshine low.
[Em] Can't you just [A] feel?
Shine, [D] yeah, ain't it just like a [Bm] friend of mine [G] to hit [D] me from [E] behind
[A] Yes, [D] I'm gone to [G] Carolina
[Em]
[D] In my mind
[G] Said I'm gone to [Em] Carolina [D] in my mind.
[G] I better get myself [Em] on home [D] again
