Sweet Caledonia Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
It was a [G]Highland wedding
For two [Em]love stricken faces
[G]Treacle was[Bm]ted and hearts wer[G]e full
In these cobble[Em]stone built [G]walls
With [Em]lus cious garden [D]pathways that lined
the [Bm]outside and [D]down the [G]hill[D]
There was an old [G]weeping willow
That [Em]stood where the path opene[G]d
It had [Bm]a rope swing [D]and white
[G]wood bench
We would sit there for ages
While [Em]our parents’ all
drank like [D]sailors
[G]Wondering [Bm]where [D]these stars [G]hide
[A]How did I get so

[Verse 2]
far
How did I get so far
[Bm]Running [D]away from [G]you?[A]
How did I get so [Asus4]caught up
[A]How did I get so lost
[Bm]Trying [D]to hide from [G]you?
My childhood
[A]We’d use

[Verse 3]
[G]pocket knives
to carve weapons
And [Em]venture out into the wood[G]s
That stretched [Bm]for miles from the
[D]back[G]yard fence
Beneath the canopies we’d fight
imagin[D]ary beings
Like all the [Bm]ones [D]we’d dream
at night
[G]

[Verse 4]
[A]
How did I get so far
How did I get so far
[Bm]Running [D]away from [G]you?[A]
How did I get so caught up
How did I get so lost
[Bm]Trying to [D]hide [G]from you?
My childhood

[Verse 5]
But I can [D]still taste sweet Caledonia
Sweet [Bm]Caledonia[G][Bm]
Sweet [D]Caledonia [G](oh you’re fading
[Bm]away from me)
Sweet Caledonia
[D]

[Verse 6]
[G]Yeah I can still tas[Bm]te
sweet Caledoni[D]a[G]
You see it when you start [A]to grow
[Bm]How far the little [D]things they [G]go

[Verse 7]
Yeah I can still [D]taste sweet
[A]Caledonia[D][G]
Our youth is like a brick [A]in Rome
It’s hard [Bm]to ever really k[G]now
What’ll stay with [D]you when you’re older
