Chords with lyrics

Caledonia
By the Gourds
Tabbed by Duke

This song is an excellent exercise in three-chord transitions, and natural key changes.
Plus, it's funny, weird, and lots of fun to play...

Dear friend rub my back
    A augmentedA       D MajorD
'tis no cadence that I lack
    D MajorD      G+G

Caledonia where the hell you been

   A augmentedA       D MajorD
Step lively with caprice
      E MajorE       A augmentedA
Through the heavy chested spread
   A augmentedA       D MajorD
May a purple-painted thief
       E MajorE       A augmentedA
Dance on the harpsichord instead

     A augmentedA      D MajorD
Let mine eye state it bluntly
    E MajorE        A augmentedA
No such stuff was in my thoughts
  A augmentedA        D MajorD    E MajorE
Caledonia where the hell you been

Dear friend rub my back
