Caledonia

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 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
