Karen, she's a silver sun, you'd best walk away and watch it shining
Bm                    G                           A
Watch her watch the morning come

There ain't no doubt in no-ones mind that loves the finest thing around
Whisper something soft and kind
And hey baby, the sky's on fire, I'm dying, ain't I 
I've gone to Carolina in my mind

Chorus




Verse 3
Dark and silent late last night I think I might have heard the highway calling
Geese in flight and dogs that bite
The signs that it might be omens say I'm going, going
I've gone to Carolina in my mind

Bridge
D            G                   A                                 Bm
With a holy host of others standing around me 
F#m7                          Em7               G
Still I'm on the dark side of the moon

And it seems like this goes on like this forever  you must forgive me
G/A                           D   Bm7    Em7    G/A    D
If I'm up and gone to Carol    ina in my mind

I've tried my best to get this as close to the recording as I can but some of the chord rundowns are a little difficult to make out.  I f you have any suggestions on how it can be improved please drop me a line at  dixhill60@hotmail.com

Hope you enjoy it
