D                Cadd9
Dark and silent, late last night I think I

G          G/F#      Em      A7     A#dim
might have heard the highway calling

Bm                G                   A7sus4  A7
    Geese in flight and dogs that bite

    G                    D/F#         Esus4 E
And signs that might be omens say I'm go -  ing,

    A7sus4 A7
I'm go  -  ing,

With a holy host of others standing 'round me

F#m7             Em7              G     A7
Still I'm on the dark side of the moon

       Cadd9              G/B             D
And it seems like it goes on like this forever

            Cadd9  G/B Em7
You must forgive me

If I'm up and gone to Carolina in my mind

  Can't you see the sunshine? Can't you just feel the moon shining?

D             D/C#    Bm         D/A   G      D/F#   Em7
Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind
