F   =  1-3-3-2-1-1
G   =  3-1-0-0-3-3
Am  =  X-0-2-2-1-0
Bb  =  X-1-3-3-3-1


Intro: F | G | Am | Bb 2x

Verse:
F               G
I don't know if you can see
    Am                     Bb
the changes that have come over me
         F                  G
in these last few days I've been afraid
     Am             Bb
that I might drift away
             F                    G
so I've been telling old stories, singing songs
     Am                  Bb
that make me think about where I came from
    F                 G
and that's the reason why I seem
   Am         Bb
so far away today


Refrein:
       F                      G
ah but let me tell you that I love you
      Am                      Bb
and I think about you all the time
                 F                      G     F
Caledonia you're calling me and now I'm going home
                         G
but if I should become a stranger
              Am                         Bb
you know that it would make me more than sad
                 G                    F    G
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had

Verse:
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 ladies, left them crying
stolen dreams, yes there's no denying
I have travelled hard, sometimes with conscience flying
somewhere in the wind


Refrein:


Solo: F | G | Am | Bb 3x


Now I'm sitting here before the fire
the empty room, the forest choir
the flames that couldn'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
the hands have shaken and the kisses flow
now I will disappear

Refrein: 2x

Outro: F | G 2x

How to practise this song

  1. 1

    Practise the barre chord B

    B is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.

    Open
  2. 2

    Practise the change: B ↔ A

    Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.

    Great first song
