a (C7)cross

the o cean wild and (F)wide,

to where

your (Gm)heart has (G#dim)ev er (F)been,

since (G7)first

you were my bon nie (C)bride.

The (C7)ros

es all have left your (F)cheek;

Your (Bb)voice

is sad when e’er you (Dm)speak,

and (G7)tears

be dim your lov ing (C7)eye.

Oh, (F)I

to (C7)where

your heart will feel no (F)pain.

And (F7)when

the fields are fresh and (Bdim)green,

I’d (C7)take

you home a gain, Kath (F)leen.

I (F)know

you (Gm)love me, (G#dim)Kath leen (F)dear;

your (C7)heart

was ev er fond and (F)true.

I al

ways (Gm)feel when (G#dim)you are (F)near

that (G7)life

holds noth ing dear but (C)you.

The (C7)smiles

that once you gave to (F)me,

I (C7)scarce

ly ev er see them (F)now.

The (Bb)man

y, man y times I (Dm)see

a (G7)dark

’ning shad ow on your (C7)brow.

Oh, (F)I

will (Gm)take you (G#dim)back, Kath (F)leen,

to (C7)where

your heart will feel no (F)pain.

And (F7)when

the fields are fresh and (Bdim)green,

I’d (C7)take

you home a gain, Kath (F)leen.

To (F)leen.
