The Band 1968 (Robbie Robertson) from Big Pink https://beatcrave.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-caledonia-mission-by-the-band/ [Intro] G7 G C G7 G C [Verse 1]
    G                        C
She reads the leaves and she leads the life 

         G                        D
That she learned so well from the old wives 

        Em           D        C 
It's so strange to arrange it, you know I

         D
wouldn't change it

    Em                D      C
But hear me if you're near me, can I just

    D        
rearrange it?

    G7
The watchman covers me  
With his remedy
                                 D
I can't see and it's hard to feel 

                  C             G
I think his magic might be real
[Musical Interlulde] G7 G C G7 G C [Verse 2]
G       G7                   C
I can't get to you from your garden gate

              G                    D
You know it's always locked by the magistrate  

             Em       D       C
Now he don't care why you cry, he thinks it's

D
just a lie  

   Em         D          C                  D
To get out, I don't doubt that you'd make a try

G7
If the good times get you through 
I know the dogs won't bother you
                               D
We'll be gone in moonshine time  

                         C          G
I've got a place they'll never find 
[Musical Interlude] G7 G C G7 G C [Verse 3]
           G                  C
You know I do believe in your hexagram  

            G                    D
But can you tell me how they all knew the plan?  

        Em      D             C        
Did you trip or slip on their gifts you know were

D
just a con? 

    Em                 D    C                  D
You knew it, why d'you do it, I've been hiding in the dawn

G7
Now I must be on my way  
I guess you really have to stay Inside the mission walls
D               C        G
Down in Modark, Arkansas
