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]
