(Verse)
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 old 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 F C G C
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had.

(Verse)
C G
Now I have moved and kept on moving,
Am F
Proved the points that I needed proving,
C G
Lost the friends that I needed losing,
Am F
Found others on the way.
C G
I have kissed the lad(ies) and left them crying,
Am F
Stolen dreams, yes there's no denying,
C G
I have travelled hard sometimes with conscience flying,
Am F
Somewhere with the wind.
(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 F C G C
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had.
(Verse)
C G
Now I'm sitting here before the fire,
Am F
The empty room, a forest choir,
C G
The flames have cooled. don't get any higher,
Am F
They've withered now they've gone.
C G
But I'm steady thinking my way is clear,
Am F
And I know what I will do tomorrow,
C G
When hands have shaken, the kisses flowed,
Am F
Then I will disappear.
(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 F C G C
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had.
