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