Caledonia Mission chords
The Band 1968 (Robbie Robertson) from Big Pink

G7G7 G+G C majorC

  G+G            C majorC
She reads the leaves and she leads the life
     G+G            D MajorD
That she learned so well from the old wives
    E minorEm      D MajorD    C majorC
It's so strange to arrange it, you know I
     D MajorD
wouldn't change it
  E minorEm        D MajorD   C majorC
But hear me if you're near me, can I just
  D MajorD
rearrange it?

  G7G7
The watchman covers me

With his remedy
                 D MajorD
I can't see and it's hard to feel
         C majorC       G+G
I think his magic might be real

G7G7 G+G C majorC

G+G    G7G7          C majorC
I can't get to you from your garden gate
       G+G          D MajorD
You know it's always locked by the magistrate
       E minorEm    D MajorD    C majorC
Now he don't care why you cry, he thinks it's
D MajorD
just a lie
  E minorEm     D MajorD     C majorC         D MajorD
To get out, I don't doubt that you'd make a try

G7G7
If the good times get you through

I know the dogs won't bother you
                D MajorD
We'll be gone in moonshine time
             C majorC     G+G
I've got a place they'll never find

G7G7 G+G C majorC

      G+G         C majorC
You know I do believe in your hexagram
      G+G          D MajorD
But can you tell me how they all knew the plan?
    E minorEm   D MajorD       C majorC
Did you trip or slip on their gifts you know were
D MajorD
just a con?
  E minorEm         D MajorD  C majorC         D MajorD
You knew it, why d'you do it, I've been hiding in

the dawn

G7G7
Now I must be on my way

I guess you really have to stay

Inside the mission walls
D MajorD        C majorC    G+G
Down in Modark, Arkansas

G7G7 G+G C majorC
