[A]
[E] I don't know [F#m] if you can see [E] the changes that [F#m] have come over me
[E] In these last few days [F#m] I've been afraid [E] that I might drift [A] away
[E] I've been telling old [F#m] stories, singing songs [E] that make me think [F#m] about where I came [E] from
And that's the reason [F#m] why I seem [E] so far away [F#m] today
[A] Let [E] me tell you [B] that I love you, [E] that I think about you [A] all the time
Caledonia, [E] you're calling me, and [B] now I'm [E] going home
But if I should [B] become a stranger, [E] you know that it would make me [A] more than sad
[B] Caledonia's been everything [E] I've ever had
[B] [E]
[F#m] [E]
[F#m]
[E] I have moved [F#m] and have kept on moving, [E] proved the points [A] that I need proving
[E] Lost the friends [F#m] that I needed losing, [E] found others [F#m] on the way
[A] I [E] have kissed the ladies and [F#m] left them crying, [E] stolen dreams, [F#m] yes there's no denying
[E] I have traveled hard [F#m] sometimes with conscience flying [E] somewhere [F#m] with the wind
Let
[E] me tell you that [B] I love [E] you, that I think about [A] you all the time
Caledonia, [E] you're calling me, and now [B] I'm [E] going home
But if I should become a [B] stranger, [E] you know that it would make me more than [A] sad
[E] Caledonia's been [B] everything [E] I've ever had
[B] [E]
[F#m] [E]
[A] [E]
Now I'm sitting here [F#m] before the fire, [E] the empty room, the [F#m] forest choir
[E] The flames that [F#m] couldn't get any higher, [E] well they've withered now, they've [A] gone
But [E] I'm steady thinking, [F#m] my way is [E] clear, and I know what [F#m] I will do tomorrow
[E] When the hands have shaken [F#m] and the kisses [E] flowed, well I will
[A] disappear
[E]
Let me tell you [B] that I love you, [E] that I think about you [A] all the time
[E] Caledonia, you're calling me, and [B] now I'm [E] going home
But if I should become [B] a stranger, [E] you know that it would make me more [A] than sad
[E] Caledonia's [B] been everything [E] I've ever had
