Caledonia

F                       C7sus4

I don’t know if you can see

       F                                     Bb

The changes that have come over me

             F                           C7sus4

In these last few days I’ve been afraid

           F

That I might drift away

Bbmaj7                                      C7

So I’ve been telling old stories, singing songs

        F                                Bb

That make me think about where I came from

        F                         C7

And that’s the reason why I seem

                    Bb

So far away today

Chorus

F                                C

Let me tell you that I love you

           F                                  Bb

That I think about you all the time

                             F

Caledonia you’re calling me

                       C

And now I’m going home

                                 C

If I should become a stranger

                                                                       Bb

You know that it would make me more than sad

                            C                               F

Caledonia’s been everything I’ve ever had

I have moved, and kept on moving

Proved the points that I needed proving

Lost the friends I needed losing

Found others on the way

I have tried, and kept on trying  [Originally: I have kissed the ladies and left them crying]

Stolen dreams, yes there’s no denying

I have traveled hard with conscience flying

Somewhere in the wind

Chorus

Now I’m sitting here before the fire

The empty room, the forest choir

The flames that could not get any higher

They’ve withered now they’ve gone

But I’m steady thinking, my way is clear

And I know what I must do tomorrow

When the hands are shaken and the kisses blown

They I will disappear

Chorus
