[Opening]
[D]I don’t know if you can [A]see,
The [Bm]changes that have come [G]over me.
In these [D]last few days I’ve [A]been afraid,
That I [Bm]might drift a[G]way.
I’ve been [D]telling old stories, [A]singing songs,
That [Bm]make me think about [G]where I came from.
[D]That’s the reason [A]why I seem
So [Bm]far away to[G]day.
[chorus]
[D]Let me tell you that I [A]love you,
That I [Bm]think about you all the [G]time.
Caledonia you’re [D]calling me,
Now I’m [A]going [D]home.
But [D]if I should become a [A]stranger,
Know that [Bm]it would make me more than [G]sad,
Caledonia’s been [A]everything I’ve ever [D]had.
[verse 2]
[D]Now I have moved and [A]kept on moving,
[Bm]Proved the points [G]that I needed proving,
[D]Lost the friends [A]that I needed losing,
[Bm]Found others on [G]the way.
[D]I have tried [A]and kept on trying,
[Bm]Stolen dreams, yes there’s [G]no denying,
[D]I have travelled hard sometimes [A]with conscience flying,
[Bm]Somewhere with [G]the wind.
[chorus]
[D]Let me tell you that I [A]love you,
That I [Bm]think about you all the [G]time.
Caledonia you’re [D]calling me,
Now I’m [A]going [D]home.
But [D]if I should become a [A]stranger,
Know that [Bm]it would make me more than [G]sad,
Caledonia’s been [A]everything I’ve ever [D]had.
[Closing]
Now I’m [D]sitting here be[A]fore the fire,
[Bm]The empty room, a [G]forest choir,
The [D]flames that couldn’t [A]get any higher,
They’ve [Bm]withered now [G]they’ve gone.
[A]But I’m [D]steady thinking [A]my way is clear,
[Bm]And I know what I will [G]do tomorrow,
[D]When hands have shaken, [A]and kisses flown,
[D]Then I will [G]disappear.
[chorus]
[D]Let me tell you that I [A]love you,
That I [Bm]think about you all the [G]time.
Caledonia you’re [D]calling me,
Now I’m [A]going [D]home.
But [D]if I should become a [A]stranger,
Know that [Bm]it would make me more than [G]sad,
Caledonia’s been [A]everything I’ve ever [D]had.
