John Denver - Carolina In My Mind (1 January 1971) chords
Start Jamming...
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr.
John Denver.
I appreciate that.
But tonight I'm here as a performer.
Usually when I do my songwriting, I'm at home alone in my room.
Oh, well, fair enough.
Ladies and gentlemen, John Denver and I will now perform a song
James Taylor wrote alone in his room.
Alright.
[C] [Am] [D] [G] In my mind [C] I'm on the [D] Carolina
[C] Can't you see the [D] sunshine?
[C] Can't you just feel [D] the moon's shine?
[G] Ain't it just like [Em] a friend of mine?
Ain't it just like [C] it'd be from [E] behind?
And [G] I'm going to [E] Carolina in my mind
[G] Karen, [Am] she's a silver sun
You better walk away [D] and watch it [Em] shine
Watch [C] her watch the [D] morning come
[C] A silver [G] tear appearing [Em] now I'm [Am] crying
Ain't I [G] going to Carolina in my mind?
In my mind
There ain't no [Am] doubt that no one's [C] mine
I'd love the [E] finest thing [Em] around
[C] Whisper something [D] soft and kind
[C] Babe, [G] babe, the [Em] sky's on [Am] fire
I'm dying, ain't [G] I?
I'm going to [C] Carolina in my [G] mind
In my mind [C] I'm going to [D] Carolina
[C]
Can't you see [D] the sunshine?
Can't you [E] just feel the moon's shine?
Ain't it [Em] just like a friend of [C] mine?
Ain't it just like it'd be [Am] from behind?
[G] And I'm going [E] to Carolina
[G] Talking [Am] silent late last [C] night
I think I might have [D] heard the highway [Em] call
[C] Decent flying [D] dogs advise
[C] Signs that [G] might be on the [Em] sale [Am] Going, [G] going
Going to [E] Carolina in my mind
[G] In my mind
[C] With a holy [Bm] host of others [Em] standing round me
[D] Still I'm [Am] on the dark side of the [D] moon
[Am] And it seems like [C] it goes on like [G] this forever
[Em] You must forgive [E] me
If it's [G] a man in my [C] mind
[D] [C] Can't you [D] see the sunshine?
[C] Can't you just [D] feel the moon's shine?
[G] Ain't it just [Em] like a friend of mine?
[C] Ain't it just like it'd [E] be from behind?
And [G] I'm going to Carolina
In my mind
[D] [G] In my mind [C] I'm going to [D] Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine?
Can't you just feel the moon's shine?
[G] Ain't it just like a [Em] friend of mine?
[C] Ain't it just like it'd be from behind?
And I'm [G] going to [C] Carolina
In my [G] mind
