Dolores Keane, Caledonia (1992)
Key: :[Db] (w: Dougie McLean)
INTRO: [Db] [Ebm] [Fm] [Gb] :
[x2]
VERSE 1:
[Db] I don't know if
[Ab] you can see
The
[Bbm] changes that have come
[Gb] over me
In these
[Db] last few days I've
[Ab] been afraid
That I
[Bbm] might drift a-
[Gb]-way
[Gb]
VERSE 2:
I've been
[Db] telling stories,
[Ab] singing songs
That
[Bbm] make me think about
[Gb] where I come from
[Db] That's the reason
[Ab] why I seem
So
[Bbm] far away to-
[Gb]-day
[Gb]
CHORUS:
[Db] Let me tell you that I
[Ab] love you
That I
[Bbm] think about you all the
[Gb] time
[Gb] Caledonia you're
[Db] calling me, now I'm
[Ab] going
[Db] home
But
[Db] if I shall become a
[Ab] stranger
Know that
[Bbm] it would make me more than
[Gb] sad
[Gb] Caledonia's been
[Ab] everything I've ever
[Db] had
[Db] [Gb] [Ab]
VERSE 3:
[Db] I have moved and
[Ab] kept on moving
[Bbm] Proved the points that I
[Gb] needed proving
[Db] Lost the friends that I
[Ab] needed losing
Found
[Bbm] others on the
[Gb] way
[Gb]
VERSE 4:
I've
[Db] kissed the lads and
[Ab] left them crying
[Bbm] Stolen dreams, yes there's
[Gb] no denying
I've
[Db] travelled hard sometimes with
[Ab] conscience flying
[Bbm] Somewhere in the
[Gb] wind
[Gb]
REPEAT CHORUS:
VERSE 5:
Now I'm
[Db] sitting here be-
[Ab]-fore the fire
The
[Bbm] empty room, a
[Gb] forest choir
The
[Db] flames have cooled don't
[Ab] get any higher
They've
[Bbm] withered now they've
[Gb] gone
[Gb]
VERSE 6:
But I'm
[Db] steady thinking my
[Ab] way is clear
And
[Bbm] I know what I will
[Gb] do tomorrow
When
[Db] hands have shaken, the
[Ab] kisses flowed
Then
[Bbm] I will disap-
[Gb]-pear
[Gb]
REPEAT CHORUS:
