I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen

I'll (F)take you (Gm)home (G#dim)again, (F)Kathleen,

a (C7)cross the ocean wild and (F)wide,

to where your (Gm)heart has (G#dim)ever (F)been,

since (G7)first you were my bonnie (C)bride.

The (C7)roses all have left your (F)cheek;

I've (C7)watched them fade away and (F)die.

Your (Bb)voice is sad whene'er you (Dm)speak,

and (G7)tears bedim your loving (C7)eye.

Oh, (F)I will (Gm)take you (G#dim)back,

(F)Kathleen, 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 again, (F)Kathleen.

I know you (Gm)love me, (G#dim)Kathleen (F)dear;

your (C7)heart was ever fond and (F)true.

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

that (G7)life holds nothing dear but (C)you.

The (C7)smiles that once you gave to (F)me,

I (C7)scarcely ever see them (F)now.

The (Bb)many, many times I (Dm)see a (G7)dark'ning shad ow on your (C7)brow.

Oh, (F)I will (Gm)take you (G#dim)back,

(F)Kathleen, 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 again, (F)Kathleen.

To leen.
