 'Caledonia' by Dougie Maclean.
 This version was tabbed from the recording by Dolores
 Keane on 'A Woman's Heart' cd issued by Dara records,
 Dublin, number Darte CD 158.   
 
 C               G
 I don't know if you can see,
     Am                     F 
 The changes that have come over me.
          C                  G  
 In these last few days I've been afraid,
        Am          F 
 That I might drift away.
           C                G   
 I've been telling stories, singing songs,
      Am                  F              
 That make me think about where I come from.
 C                 G
 That's the reason why I seem
    Am       F
 So far away today.
 
 (Chorus)
 C                      G
 Let me tell you that I love you,
        Am                      F 
 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 shall become a stranger,
           Am                         F  
 Know that it would make me more than sad,
                  G                    C 
 Caledonia's been everything I've ever had.
 
 
 Now I have moved and kept on moving,
 Proved the points that I needed proving,
 Lost the friends that I needed losing, 
 Found others on the way.
 I have kissed the lads and left them crying,
 Stolen dreams, yes there's no denying,
 I have travelled hard sometimes with conscience
 flying,
 Somewhere in the wind.
 
 (Chorus)
 
 Now I'm sitting here before the fire,
 The empty room, a forest choir,
 The flames have cooled. don't get any higher,
 They've withered now they've gone.
 But I'm steady thinking my way is clear,
 And I know what I will do tomorrow,
 When hands have shaken, the kisses flowed,
 Then I will disappear.
 
 (Chorus)
