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:
