Transcription
This melody is very close to the way James Taylor sings it. It sounds simple when you are singing along with it, but the rhythm is quite complex. It has a lot of syncopation and tied notes. The best way to get this down is to listen a lot before playing. Listen to the original recording a lot. Sing a long with it. Use the looper to loop measures. Listen to them repeatedly and hum along. After you can hum or speak the rhythm, playing it will come much easier.

Carolina in My Mind lyrics
In my mind I'm gone to Carolina Can't you see the sunshine? Can't you just feel the moonshine? Ain't it just like a friend of mine To hit me from behind? Yes, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind Karin, she's a silver sun You best walk her way and watch it shine<.../br> Gone to Carolina in my mind There ain't no doubt in no ones mind That love's the finest thing around Whisper something soft and kind And hey babe, the sky's on fire I'm dying, ain't I? Gone to Carolina in my mind In my mind I'm gone to Carolina Can't you see the sunshine? Can't you just feel the moonshine? Ain't it just like a friend of mine To hit me from behind? Yes, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind Dark and silent, late last night I think I might have heard the highway call And geese in flight and dogs that bite The signs that might be omens say I'm goin', I'm goin' I'm gone to Carolina in my mind With a holy host of others standin' around me Still I'm on the dark side of the moon And it seems like it goes on like this forever You must forgive me, if I'm up and gone to Carolina in my mind In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina Can't you see the sunshine? Can't you just feel the moonshine? Ain't is just like a friend of mine To hit me from behind Yes, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind Gone to Carolina in my mind And I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind Gone to Carolina in my mind Gone, I'm gone, I'm gone Say nice things about me 'cause I'm gone South now Carry on without me, I'm gone
