Lyrics

I’ll (F)take

you (Gm)home a (G#dim)gain, Kath (F)leen,

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;

I’ve (C7)watched

them fade a way and (F)die.

Your (Bb)voice

is sad when e’er you (Dm)speak,

and (G7)tears

be dim your lov ing (C7)eye.

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.

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.
