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