Dolores Keane, Caledonia (1992)
Key: :[B] (w: Dougie McLean)

INTRO: [B] [C#m] [D#m] [E] : [x2]

VERSE 1:
[B] I don't know if [F#] you can see
The [G#m] changes that have come [E] over me
In these [B] last few days I've [F#] been afraid
That I [G#m] might drift a-[E]-way [E]

VERSE 2:
I've been [B] telling stories, [F#] singing songs
That [G#m] make me think about [E] where I come from
[B] That's the reason [F#] why I seem
So [G#m] far away to-[E]-day [E]

CHORUS:
[B] Let me tell you that I [F#] love you
That I [G#m] think about you all the [E] time
[E] Caledonia you're [B] calling me, now I'm [F#] going [B] home
But [B] if I shall become a [F#] stranger
Know that [G#m] it would make me more than [E] sad
[E] Caledonia's been [F#] everything I've ever [B] had [B] [E] [F#]

VERSE 3:
[B] I have moved and [F#] kept on moving
[G#m] Proved the points that I [E] needed proving
[B] Lost the friends that I [F#] needed losing
Found [G#m] others on the [E] way [E]

VERSE 4:
I've [B] kissed the lads and [F#] left them crying
[G#m] Stolen dreams, yes there's [E] no denying
I've [B] travelled hard sometimes with [F#] conscience flying
[G#m] Somewhere in the [E] wind [E]

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 5:
Now I'm [B] sitting here be-[F#]-fore the fire
The [G#m] empty room, a [E] forest choir
The [B] flames have cooled don't [F#] get any higher
They've [G#m] withered now they've [E] gone [E]

VERSE 6:
But I'm [B] steady thinking my [F#] way is clear
And [G#m] I know what I will [E] do tomorrow
When [B] hands have shaken, the [F#] kisses flowed
Then [G#m] I will disap-[E]-pear [E]

REPEAT CHORUS:
