Caledonia
By the Gourds
Tabbed by Duke

This song is an excellent exercise in three-chord transitions, and natural key changes.
Plus, it's funny, weird, and lots of fun to play...

    G   
Hey yay yay yay he
G
Yay yay yay he
G
Yay yay yay he yay yay

         G              C
A little song, a little dance
         D                G
A little seltzer down yer pants
        G                    C
Lump o' gold the size of yer head
         D              G
A little bramble in yer bed

      G        C
Happy day in a boat
        D            G
Trade a heifer for a goat
    G               C        D
Caledonia where the hell you been

     D             G
Dear friend rub my back
        A              D
'tis no cadence that I lack
        D            G
Rise in humor and or laughter
       A              D
Made a busoon full of camphor

         D               G
Blow yer britches down today
         A               D
Blow yer britches down today
    D               G        A
Caledonia where the hell you been

     A             D
Step lively with caprice
            E             A
Through the heavy chested spread
      A              D 
May a purple-painted thief
             E             A
Dance on the harpsichord instead

         A            D
Let mine eye state it bluntly
        E               A
No such stuff was in my thoughts
    A               D        E
Caledonia where the hell you been

     E             A
Dear friend rub my back
        B              E
'tis no cadence that I lack
        E            A
Rise in humor and or laughter
       B              E
Made a busoon full of camphor

         E               A
Blow yer britches down today
         B               E
Blow yer britches down today
    E               A        B
Caledonia where the hell you been

    B               E        F#
Caledonia where the hell you been
    B               E        F#
Caledonia where the hell you been
    B               E        F#
Caledonia where the hell you been
    B               E        F#
Caledonia where the hell you been
