Verse:
C G/D
I don't know if you can see,
C/E Fsus2
The changes that have come over me.
C G/D
In these last few days I've been afraid,
C/E Fsus2
That I might drift away.
C G/D
I've been telling stories, singing songs,
C/E Fsus2
That make me think about where I come from.
C G/D
That's the reason why I seem
C/E Fsus2
So far away today.
Chorus:
C G
Let me tell you that I love you,
C Fsus2
That I think about you all the time.
C
Caledonia you're calling me,
G C
Now I'm going home.
C G
But if I should become a stranger,
C Fsus2
Know that it would make me more than sad,
G C
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had.
Verse:
C G/D
Now I have moved and kept on moving,
C/E Fsus2
Proved the points that I needed proving,
C G/D
Lost the friends that I needed losing,
C/E Fsus2
Found others on the way.
C G/D
I have kissed the ladies and left them crying,
C/E Fsus2
Stolen dreams, yes there's no denying,
C G/D
I have travelled hard sometimes with conscience flying,
C/E Fsus
Somewhere with the wind.
Chorus:
C G
Let me tell you that I love you,
C Fsus2
That I think about you all the time.
C
Caledonia you're calling me,
G C
Now I'm going home.
C G
But if I should become a stranger,
C Fsus2
Know that it would make me more than sad,
G C
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had.
Verse:
C G/D
Now I'm sitting here before the fire,
C/E Fsus2
The empty room, a forest choir,
C G/D
The flames that couldn't get any higher,
C/E Fsus2
They've withered now they've gone.
C G/D
But I'm steady thinking my way is clear,
C/E Fsus2
And I know what I will do tomorrow,
C G/D
When hands have shaken, and kisses flown,
C Fsus2
Then I will disappear.
Chorus:
C G
Let me tell you that I love you,
C Fsus2
That I think about you all the time.
C
Caledonia you're calling me,
G C
Now I'm going home.
C G
But if I should become a stranger,
C Fsus2
Know that it would make me more than sad,
G C
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had.
