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.
