[F#]
[E] [B]
[E] I don't know [Bm] if you can [E] see
The changes that [B] have come over me
In these last few days
[B] I've been afraid [E] that I might drift [A] away
So [E]
I've been telling old [B] stories, singing songs
[E] That make me think [B] about where I came [E] from
That's the reasons [F#] why I seem [E] so far away [B] today
[A] Oh, [E] and let me tell you [B] that I love you
[E] That I think about you [A] all the time
[E] Caledonia, you're calling me
And [B] now I'm [E] going home
If I should [B] become a stranger
You [E] know that it would make me more than sad
[B] Caledonia's been everything [E] I've ever had
[B] [E] Oh, and I have moved [F#] and I've kept on moving
[E] I've proved the points [B] that I needed [E] proving
Lost the friends [F#] that I needed losing
[E] Found others [A] on the way
[E]
Oh, and I have tried [F#] and I've kept on trying
[E]
Stolen dreams, [A] yes, there's no denying
[E] I have traveled hard, [F#] my conscience [E] flying
Somewhere with [A] the wind
[E] Oh, and let me tell you [B] that I love you
[E] That I think about you [A] all the time
[E] Caledonia, you're calling me
And [B] now I'm going
[E] home
If I should become [B] a stranger
[E] You know that it would make me [A] more than sad
[B]
Caledonia's been everything I've [E] ever had
[B]
[A]
[E]
[B]
Now [E] I'm sitting here before the fire
The empty room, [B] the forest choir
[E] The flames, it couldn't [F#] get any higher
[E] Well, they're withered now, [B] they've gone
[A] [E] But I'm steady thinking, [F#] my way is clear
And I know what I [A] will do [E] tomorrow
When the hands are shaking [F#] and the kisses flowed
[E]
Well, I will [B] disappear
[A]
[E] Oh, and let me tell you [B] that I love you
[E] That I think about you [A] all the time
[E] Caledonia, you're calling me
And [B] now I'm [E] going home
If I should become [B] a stranger
You know [C#m] that it would make me [A] more than sad
[B] Caledonia's been everything I've [E] ever had
[F#] [E]
[B] [G#m] [E]
