Okay, this [E] is the wee homesick song.
I wrote it in my early 20s on a beach when I was genuinely homesick and you might want to join in with the chorus of this and see how much nausea can be.
I [A]
[E] [A]
[E] don't know if you [B] can see [E] the changes that have come over [A] me in [E] these last few days.
[F#m] I've been afraid [E]
that I might drift away.
[A] So [E] I've been telling old stories, singing songs that make me think [A] about where I came [E] from.
That's the reasons [F#m] why I seem [E]
so far away [A] today.
[E] Oh, let me tell you that I love you.
That I think about you all [A] the time.
Caledonia, [E]
now I [B] will go.
[E]
But if I should become [B] a stranger, [E] you know that it would make me more [A] than sad.
[E] Caledonia's been everything I've ever had.
[B] [E] I have moved and I've kept on moving.
Proved the points [A] that I needed proving.
[E] Lost the friends that I needed losing.
Found others [A] knowing.
[E]
[B] Kept [E] on trying.
I've stolen dreams, yes there's [A] no denying.
[E] I've travelled hearts and times with conscience flying.
Somewhere [A] in the wind.
[E] Oh, let me tell you that I love you.
That I think about you [A] all the time.
Caledonia, [E] you're calling me.
Now [B] I'm [E] going home.
But if I should become a [B] stranger, [E] you know that it would make me [A] more than sad.
[E] Caledonia's [B] been everything I've [C#m] ever had.

[E] [B]
[E] I'm sitting here before the fire.
The empty room, the [A] forest [E] choir.
The flames that couldn't get any higher.
With the night [A]
[E] alone.
But I'm steady thinking my way is clear.
And I know [A]
till [E] tomorrow.
All my [F#m] hands have shaken [E] and the kisses flow.
Then I'll [A] disappear.
[E] Let me tell you that I [B] love you.
[E] That I think about you [A] all the time.
[E] Caledonia, you're calling me.
Now I'm [B] going [E] home.
