Dolores Keane, Caledonia (1992)
Key: :[G] (w: Dougie McLean)

INTRO: [G] [Am] [Bm] [C] : [x2]

VERSE 1:
[G] I don't know if [D] you can see
The [Em] changes that have come [C] over me
In these [G] last few days I've [D] been afraid
That I [Em] might drift a-[C]-way [C]

VERSE 2:
I've been [G] telling stories, [D] singing songs
That [Em] make me think about [C] where I come from
[G] That's the reason [D] why I seem
So [Em] far away to-[C]-day [C]

CHORUS:
[G] Let me tell you that I [D] love you
That I [Em] think about you all the [C] time
[C] Caledonia you're [G] calling me, now I'm [D] going [G] home
But [G] if I shall become a [D] stranger
Know that [Em] it would make me more than [C] sad
[C] Caledonia's been [D] everything I've ever [G] had [G] [C] [D]

VERSE 3:
[G] I have moved and [D] kept on moving
[Em] Proved the points that I [C] needed proving
[G] Lost the friends that I [D] needed losing
Found [Em] others on the [C] way [C]

VERSE 4:
I've [G] kissed the lads and [D] left them crying
[Em] Stolen dreams, yes there's [C] no denying
I've [G] travelled hard sometimes with [D] conscience flying
[Em] Somewhere in the [C] wind [C]

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 5:
Now I'm [G] sitting here be-[D]-fore the fire
The [Em] empty room, a [C] forest choir
The [G] flames have cooled don't [D] get any higher
They've [Em] withered now they've [C] gone [C]

VERSE 6:
But I'm [G] steady thinking my [D] way is clear
And [Em] I know what I will [C] do tomorrow
When [G] hands have shaken, the [D] kisses flowed
Then [Em] I will disap-[C]-pear [C]

REPEAT CHORUS:
