Sweet Caledonia chords by Blake Rose

♫ Verse 1:
          G
It was a island wedding

For two love striken faces
           Bm           D           G
Trick are wasting and hearts were full



        G
These ghosts on the walls

just got in pathways
               Bm            D       G
The line they outside, and down to help
                   G
There was an old weeping willow

It stood where the path opened
          Bm             D         G
It had a rope swing and wide wood bench
          G
We would sit there for ages
While our parents all drank like sailors
            Bm          D    G
Wondering where these stars went

♫ Chorus:
A
  How did I get so far?
                        Bm      D        G
How did I get so far, running away from you?
A
  How did I get so caught up?
                        Bm        D         G
How did I get so lost, trying to hide from you?

From my shadow

♫ Verse 2:
           G
We’d use pocket knives to carve weapons

Adventure out into the woods
                 Bm              D        G
And stretch for miles from the backyard fence
            G
Then we forget we fight

Imaginary beings
              Bm        D       G
Like all the ones we dream at night
♫ Chorus:
A
  How did I get so far?
                        Bm      D        G
How did I get so far, running away from you?
A
  How did I get so caught up?
                        Bm        D         G
How did I get so lost, trying to hide from you?

From my childhood, yeah

  You say when it start to glow
    Bm               F#m       G
How far the little things they go
                             Bm      A  D   G
Yeah
I could still taste
Sweet Caledonia
                 A
like a breaking road
      Bm            F#m   G
It’s hard to ever really know
                                     D
But I’ll stay with you when you’re older
