Caledonia
Dougie Maclean / Dolores Keane
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.
I've been [C] telling old stories, [G] singing songs,
That [Am] make me think about [F] where I come from.
[C] 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, left [G] conscience flying,
[Am] Somewhere with the [F] wind.
Chorus:
Verse 3:
Now I'm [C] sitting here be [G] fore the fire,
[Am]The empty room, a [F] forest choir,
The [C] flames have cooled, don’t 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 the [C] hands have shaken, and the [G] kisses blown,
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.
