Biography:
The musicians of Rapalje with their wild hair and medieval kilts create flaming energy with their enthusiasm and motivation. With sensitive ballads, fiery songs and vivacious Celtic melodies Rapalje electrifies their audience. A concert of Rapalje is like a journey through time with recognizable licentiousness and a rough way of life.
Celtic folk from Ireland and Scotland, with an occasional Dutch folktune 'with a difference', is what the Dutch band Rapalje performs.

Rapalje's Cover to Caledonia
Capo: 3rd Fret
I don't play the 6th string through the whole song, but you can do whatever.
[Chords]:
E F#m A B
[Intro]
E F#m E A
E F#m E A
[Verse I]
E F#m
I don't know if you can see
E A
The changes that have come over me
E F#m
In these last few days I've been afraid
E A
That I might drift away
E F#m
So I'm telling stories, singing songs
E A
That make me think about where I came from
E F#m
And that's the reason why I seem
E A
So far away today
[Chorus]
E B
Let me tell you that I love you
E A
And that I think about you all the time
E B E
Caledonia you're calling me and now I'm going home
E B
If I Will become a stranger
E A
You know that it would make me more than sad
B E
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
[Instrumental]
E E A E E E A E // E E A E E E A E // (I just whistle along the Instrumental)
[Verse II]
E F#m
Now I moved and I've kept on moving
E A
Proved the points that I needed proving
E F#m
Lost the friends that I needed losing
E A
Found new ones on the way
E F#m
I kissed the ladies and left them crying
E A
Stolen dreams, yes there's no denying
E F#m
I have traveled hard with conscience flying
E A
Somewhere with the wind
[Chorus]
E B
Let me tell you that I love you
E A
And that I think about you all the time
E B E
Caledonia you're calling me and now I'm going home
E B
If I Will become a stranger
E A
You know that it would make me more than sad
B E
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
[Instrumental]
E E A E E E A E // E E A E E E A E //
[Verse III]
E F#m
Now I'm sitting here before the fire
E A
The empty room, the forest choir
E F#m
The flames that couldn't get any higher
E A
They've withered now they've gone
E F#m
But I'm steady thinking my way is clear
E A
And I know what I will do tomorrow
E F#m
When the hands are shaken and kisses flow
E A
Then I will disappear
[Chorus]
E B
Let me tell you that I love you
E A
And that I think about you all the time
E B E
Caledonia you're calling me and now I'm going home
E B
If I Will become a stranger
E A
You know that it would make me more than sad
B E
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
