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:
