[E] [D]
[E] [A] [C#m]
[E] I don't know [Bm] if you can see
[E] The changes that [A] have come over [E] me
In these last few days
[B] I've been [E] afraid that I might drift [A] away
So [E]
I've been telling old stories, [B] singing [E] songs
That make me [A] think about where I came [E] from
That's the reasons [Bm] why I seem [E] so far away [A] today
[E] Oh, and let 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
If I should [B] become a stranger
You [E] know that it would make me [A] more than sad
[E]
[B] Caledonia's been everything [E] I've ever had
[B] [E] Oh, and I have moved [F#m] and I've kept on [E] moving
I've proved the points [A] that I needed proving
[E] Lost the friends [F#m] that I needed [E] losing
Found others [A] on the way
[E]
Oh, and I have tried [A] and I've kept on [E] trying
I've stolen dreams, [A] yes, there's no denying
[E] I have traveled hard [A] with conscience [E] flying
Somewhere [A] with the wind
[E] Oh, and 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 going [E] home
If I should [B] become a stranger
You [E] know that it would make me [A] more than sad
[E] Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
[A]
[E]
[B]
[E] [A]
[E]
[B]
[E] Now I'm sitting here before the fire
The empty room, [B] the forest [E] choir
The flames, it [D] couldn't get any [E] higher
Well, they're withered now, [C#m] they've gone
[A] [E] But I'm steady thinking, [A] my way's [E] clear
And I know what [A] I will do [E] tomorrow
When the hands are shaking [A] and the kisses [E] flow
Well, I will [Em] disappear
[A] [E] Oh, and let me tell you that I [B] 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
If I should [B] become a stranger
You [C#m] know that it would make me [A] more than sad
[B] Caledonia's been [E] everything I've ever had
[A] [E]
