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