[C] [G] [Am] [F] [F*]
Verse 1:
[C] I don't know if [G] you can see,
The [Am] changes that have come [F] over me.
These [C] last few days I've [G] been afraid,
That [Am] I might drift [F] away.
So I've been [C] telling old stories, [G] singing songs,
That [Am] make me think about [F] where I come from.
[C] And that's the reason [G] why I seem
So [Am] far away [F] today.
|Chorus:
|[C] Let me tell you that I [G] love you,
|That I [Am] think about you all the [F] time.
|Caledonia you're [C] calling me,
|Now I'm [G] going [C] home.
|But [C] if I should become a [G] stranger,
|Know that [Am] it would make me more than [F] sad,
|Caledonia's been [G] everything I've ever [C] had.
Verse 2:
Now [C] I have moved and I’ve [G] kept on moving,
[Am] Proved the points that I [F] needed proving,
[C] Lost the friends that [G] needed losing,
[Am] Found others on the [F] way.
[C] I've have tried [G] and kept on trying
[Am] Stolen dreams, yes there's [F] no denying,
[C] I've travelled hard, with [G] conscience flying,
[Am] Somewhere in the [F] wind.
Chorus:
Verse 3:
Now I'm [C] sitting here be [G] fore the fire,
[Am]The empty room, the [F] forest choir,
The [C] flames that could not get [G] any higher,
They've [Am] withered now they’re [F] gone.
But I'm [C] steady thinking my [G] way is clear,
And [Am] I know what I will [F] do tomorrow,
When [C] hands are shaken, and the [G] kisses flow,
Then [Am] I will dis [F] appear.
Chorus:
|[C] Let me tell you that I [G] love you,
|That I [Am] think about you all the [F] time.
|Caledonia you're [C] calling me,
|Now I'm [G] going [C] home.
|But [C] if I should become a [G] stranger,
|Know that [Am] it would make me more than [F] sad,
|[F] Caledonia's been [G] everything I've ever [C] had.[C*]

With the [G]beating of the sleepers, and the [F] burning of the coal
[Am] Counting towns flashing by me, in a [C]night that's full of soul
With light in my [G]head, with you in my [F]arms, oh oh [Am]oh oh oh [C]oh
[G]Oh oh[F] oh oh [Am]oh [C]
Oh I [G]know I will be loosened, from [F]bonds that hold me fast
And the [Am]chains all hung around me, [C] will fall away at last
And on that [G] fine and fateful day, I will [F] take thee in my arms
I will [Am]ride the night train, and I will [C] be the fisherman
With light in my [G]head, you in my [F]arms, oh oh [Am]oh oh oh [C]oh.
[G]Oh oh [F]oh oh [Am]oh [C]
With light in my [G]head, with you in my [F]arms, oh oh[Am] oh oh oh [C]oh.

The Water is Wide
The Seekers
[C] The water is wide, [F] I can't cross [C] o'er
Nor do I [Am] have light [F] wings to [G7] fly.
Build me a [Em] boat that can carry [Am] two, [F]
And both shall [C] row, [G7] my love and [C] I.
A ship there [C] is, [F] and sails the [C] sea,
She's loaded [Am] deep, [F] as deep can [G7] be
But not so [Em] deep as the love I'm [Am] in,
[F] And I know not [C] how [G7] I sink or [C] swim.
When love is [C] young, [F] and love is [C] fine
It's like a [Am] gem [F] when first it's [G7] new.
But love grows [Em] old and waxes [Am] cold,
[F]And fades a[C]way [G7] like the morning [C] dew.
[C] The water is wide, [F] I can't cross [C] o'er
Nor do I [Am] have light [F] wings to [G7] fly.

[intro]
[C] [F] [G]
Oh, [C] the winter it is past, and the [F] summer’s come at [G] last,
And the birds they are [C] singing [F] in the [G] trees
And the[G] hearts of these are [C] glad, but [F] mine is very [G] sad,
For my [C] lover has [F] parted from [G] me.
And the [C] rose upon the brier by the [F] waters running [G] clear
May have charms for the [C] linnet [F] or the [G] bee
And their little loves are [C] blest, and their little [F] hearts at [G] rest,
But my [C] lover is [F] parted from [G] me
And my [C] love in like the sun in the [F] firmament doeth [G] run
Forever is [C] constant and [G] true;
But his is like the [C] moon, that [F] wanders up and [G] down,
And [C] every [F] month it is [G] new.
All [C] you that are in love, and [F] cannot it [G] remove,
I pity the [C] pains [F] you [G] endure,
For experience makes me [C] know that your [F] hearts are full of [G] woe,
A [C] woe that no [F] mortal can [G] cure.
Slowing down
A [C] woe that no [F] mortal can [C] cure.
