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