Verse 1
G 
D 
I don't know if you can see,
Em7 
Cadd9 
the changes that come over me
G 
D 
In these last few days, I've been afraid
Em7 
Cadd9 
that I might drift away
G 
So I've been tellin' old stories,
D 
singing old songs
Em7 
Cadd9 
That makes me think about where I        came from
G 
That's the reason
D 
Em7 
Cadd9 
why I seem so far   away today

Chorus 1
G 
D 
Let me tell you that I love you
Em7 
Cadd9 
And I think about you all the time
G 
Caledonia you're callin' me
D 
G 
and now I'm going home
D 
But if I should become a stranger
You know that
Em7 
Cadd9 
it    would make me more than sad
Dsus4 
D 
Caledonia you're the best friend
G 
I've ever had

Verse 2
G 
Well I have moved,
D 
and I've kept on movin'
Em7 
And I've proved the points
Cadd9 
that I needed proovin'
G 
And I've lost the friends,
D 
that I needed loosin'
Em7 
Cadd9 
Then I found others on the way
G 
And I've kissed the ladies
D 
and left some cryin'
Em7 
Cadd9 
Stolen dreams, oh there's no denying
G 
And I've partied hard
D 
with my coattails flyin'
Em7 
Cadd9 
Somewhere in the wind

Chorus 2
G 
D 
Let me tell you that I love you
Em7 
Cadd9 
And I think about you all the time
G 
Caledonia you're callin' me
D 
G 
and now I'm going home
D 
But if I should become a stranger
You know that
Em7 
Cadd9 
it    would make me more than sad
Dsus4 
D 
Caledonia you're the best friend
G 
I've ever had
