Caledonia tin whistle notes and sheet music
I[G] don't know if[D] you can see
The [G]changes that have come [C]over me In these[G] last few days I've[D] been afraid That [G]I might drift a[C]way I've been[G] telling old stories, [D]singing songs That[G] make me think about[C] where I've come from [G]That's the reason[D] why I seem So[G] far away to[C]day [G]Let me tell you [C]that I love you That I[G] think about you[C] all the time Cale[G]donia, you're calling me, now I'm going home But if I should become a[C] stranger Know that[G] it would make me[C] more than sad Cale[G]donia's been everything I've[C] ever[G] had Now I have moved and I've 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 fellas and left them crying Stolen dreams, yes, there's no denying I have traveled hard, sometimes with conscience flying Somewhere with the wind Now I'm sitting here before the fire The empty room, the 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 float Then I will disappear Caledonia's been everything I've ever had Caledonia's been everything I've ever had Caledonia's been everything I've ever had |
The youtube video is by Dougie MacLean who is also the man who wrote the song. He wrote it while doing a spot of busking in Brittany with a couple of Irish fellas. If your a guitar player and want to play it like Dougie does, well he places capo on the 4th fret and plays open C Tuning (CGCGCE) Copyright 1982 Plant Life Music Ltd
