Chords for James Taylor - Carolina In My Mind [Live on SiriusXM]

_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
Let _ me play this tune written in 1968 on the island of Formentera, a small _ outpost in the
Mediterranean off the coast of Spain.
_ _ I was down there on a brief break from recording my first album and I was homesick at the time.
In spite of being in the company of the greats at the time, _ having just been signed by the
Beatles to their Apple records, in spite of their presence, I was _ still feeling very _ _ homesick.
So [Em] this song came down.
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ In [F#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E]
my mind [A] I'm [F#m] going to _ [B] Carolina.
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
Can't you see the [B] sunshine?
[C#m] _ [F#] Can't you just feel [B] the moon shining?
[E] _ Ain't [D#m] it just [F#m] like a friend of [A] mine?
Keep [G#] me from [F#] behind.
[B] Well, [E] I'm [C#m] going to _
[E] Carolina [Am] in my [Em] _ [A] mind.
[E] _ _ _ _ Karen, she's a [D] silver sun.
You [A] best walk her way and [B] watch her [C#m] shine.
_ Watch [A] her, watch the morning [B] come.
A _
_ _ [A] _ [E] silver tear appearing now [C#m] while I'm [F#] crying.
Ain't [B] I?
_ [E] I'm going to _ Carolina [A] in my [E] [A] mind.
_ [E] _ _
_ There ain't no doubt in [D] no one's mind [A] that love's the [E] finest [B] thing around.
_ [C#m] _ _ [B] Whisper [A] something soft and [B] kind. _ _ _ _ _
[A] Hey, baby, [E] the sky's on fire.
[C#m] _ [F#] I'm dying, [A] ain't I?
[B] _
[E] I'm going to _ [F#m] [A] Carolina in my [Em] mind.
[A] _ _ [E] _ [A] _ [B] _
[E] In my mind I'm [F#m] going to [E] _
[B] Carolina. _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ Can't you see [B] the sunshine? _ _
[F#] Can't you [F#m] just feel [B] the moon shining?
[E] _
Ain't it just [A] like a friend of mine?
Keep me [E] from [F#] _ behind.
[B] Till [E] I'm gone to _ Carolina [A] in my [E] mind.
[A] _ _ [E] _ _ _
Dark and silent [D] late last [A] night.
I think I [B] might have [F#m] heard [B] the highway [C] calling.
[C#m] _ _ [B] He's [A] in flight and dogs that [B] bite. _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ [E] Signs and might be omens say that [C#] I'm [F#] going, [A] I'm going. _
[Em] _ _ _ [F#m] Gone Carolina [E] in my mind.
_ _ _ It's [A] where the holy host [B] of others stand [C#] around me.
_ [C#m] _ _ _
[G#] Still I'm [F#] on the dark [E] side [A] of the moon.
[E] _ _ [B] _ _ [D] And it looks like it goes [A] on like [E] this forever.
_ [A] _ _ [E] _ You must [D] _ forgive [F#m] me. _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ If I am gone [C#m] _ _ [E] to Carolina in my [A] mind.
_ _ _ _ [B] _
[E] In my mind [A] I'm going [E] to [B] Carolina. _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ Can't you see [Em] the [B] sunshine?
[F#] I said, can't [F#m] you just feel [B] the moon shining?
[E] _ Ain't [D#] it just [A] like a friend [F#m] of mine?
Keep me [E] from [F#] _ behind.
[B]
Till [E] I'm gone [C#m] to [E] Carolina in my mind. _ _ _
[A] _ _ Oh, _ _ _ _ I'm [E] gone to _ Carolina [A]
in my _ mind. _ _ _
Yes, I'm [E] already _ [F#m] gone. _
[E] _ I'm [C#m] gone _ [A] _
[E] Carolina _ _ [F#m] _ in _ [Em] _
_ [B] _ _ _ [F#m] _ my [E] mind. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
