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