Caledonia
Dougie Maclean / Dolores Keane
Verse 1:
[C] I don't know if [G] you can see,
The [Am] changes that have come [F] over me.
These [C] last few days I've [G] been afraid,
That [Am] I might drift [F] away.
So I've been [C] telling old stories, [G] singing songs,
That [Am] make me think about [F] where I come from.
[C] And that's the reason [G] why I seem
So [Am] far away [F] today.

|But [C] if I should become a [G] stranger,
|Know that [Am] it would make me more than [F] sad,
|Caledonia's been [G] everything I've ever [C] had.
Verse 2:
Now [C] I have moved and I’ve [G] kept on moving,
[Am] Proved the points that I [F] needed proving,
[C] Lost the friends that [G] needed losing,
[Am] Found others on the [F] way.
[C] I've have tried [G] and kept on trying
[Am] Stolen dreams, yes there's [F] no denying,
[C] I've travelled hard, with [G] conscience flying,
[Am] Somewhere in the [F] wind.
Chorus:
Verse 3:
Now I'm [C] sitting here be [G] fore the fire,
[Am]The empty room, the [F] forest choir,
The [C] flames that could not get [G] any higher,
They've [Am] withered now they’re [F] gone.
But I'm [C] steady thinking my [G] way is clear,
And [Am] I know what I will [F] do tomorrow,
When [C] hands are shaken, and the [G] kisses flow,
Then [Am] I will dis [F] appear.

If You Could Read My Mind
Gordon Lightfoot
[G] If you could read my mind love, [F] what a tale my thoughts could tell
[G] Just like an old time movie, [F] about a ghost from a wishing well
[G] In a castle dark or a [C] fortress strong
With [D] chains upon my [Em] feet - you [C] know that ghost is [G] me
And [C] I will never [G] be set free
As [Am7] long as I’m a [D] ghost that you can’t [G] see
[G] If I could read your mind love, [F] what a tale your thoughts could tell
[G] Just like a paperback novel, the [F] kind that drugstores sell
[G] When you reach the part [C] where the heartaches come
The [D] hero would be [Em] me but [C] heroes often[G] fail
And [C] you won’t read that [G] book again
[Am7] because the ending’s [D] just too hard to [G] take
[G] I’d walk away like a [C] movie star,
who gets [D] burned in a three way [Em] script
[C] Enter number [G] two, a [C] movie queen to [G] play the scene
Of [Am7] bringing all the [D] good things out in [G] me,
[C] but for now love, let’s be [G] real
I [C] never thought I could [G] act this way,
and I’ve [Am7] got to say that I [D] just don’t get it
[C] I don’t know where [G] we went wrong,
But the [Am7] feeling’s gone and I [D] just can’t get it [G] back
[G] If you could read my mind love, [F] what a tale my thoughts could tell
[G] Just like an old time movie, [F] about a ghost from a wishing well
[G] In a castle dark or a [C] fortress strong with [D] chains upon my [Em] feet
But [C] stories always [G] end. And [C] if you read be[G]tween the lines
You’ll [Am7] know that I’m just [D] trying to under[G]stand
the [C] feelings that you [G] lack
[C] never thought I could [G] feel this way,
and I’ve [Am7] got to say that I [D] just don’t get it
[C] I don’t know where [G] we went wrong [Am7] but the feeling’s gone
And I [D] just can’t get it [G] back
