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:
