Caledonia (video)

C - G - C - F

C                   G           Am                         F

1. I don’t know if you can see the changes that have come over me,

C                           G                        Am             F ~

in these last few days I’ve been afraid that I might drift away.

C                          G

    So I’ve been telling old stories, singing songs,

             Am                             F

that make me think about where I came from,

C                        G                 Am              F ~

that’s the reason why I seem so far away today.

C                             G                      Am                               F

Oh, but let me tell you that I love you, that I think about you all the time,

   F                        C                              G       C

Caledonia, you’re calling me, and now I’m going home.

       C                         G                        

But if I should become a stranger,

Am F

you know that it would make me more than sad,

   F                        G                               C - G

Caledonia’s been everything I’ve ever had.

C               G          

2. Now I’ve moved and kept on moving,

Am                         F

proved the points that I needed proving,

C               G           Am                    F

lost the friends that I needed losing, found others on the way.

C             G          

I have kissed the ladies and left them crying,

Am                     F

stolen dreams, yes, there’s no denying,

C                          G

I have travelled hard sometimes with conscience flying,

Am F

somewhere in the wind.

C                             G                      Am                               F

Oh, but let me tell you that I love you, that I think about you all the time,

   F                        C                              G       C

Caledonia, you’re calling me, and now I’m going home.

       C                         G                        

But if I should become a stranger,

Am F

you know that it would make me more than sad,

   F                        G                               C - G

Caledonia’s been everything I’ve ever had.

C                   G            Am                   F

3. Now I’m sitting here before the fire, the empty room, a forest choir,

C                  G          

the flames have cooled, don’t get any higher

Am                       F ~

they’ve withered, now they’ve gone.

C G

But I’m steady thinking, my way is clear,

Am F

and I know what I’ll do tomorrow,

C G

when hands have shaken, and the kisses flowed,

Am F

but I will disappear.
