C             G7             C
I'll take you home again Kathleen
 G7                       C
Across the ocean wild and wide
              G7             C
To where your heart has ever been
      G7    D                  G7
Since first you were my blushing bride

    F     G7                 C
The roses all have left your cheek
     G7                         C
I've watched them fade away and die
E             Am           C
Your voice is sad when you speak
    D                       G7
And tears bedim your loving eyes

[Chorus]
       C      G7                C
Oh but I will take you back Kathleen
   G7                            C
To where your heart will feel no pain
                                  F
And when the fields are fresh and green
     C        G7               C
I'll take you to your home again

[Verse]
C             G7             C
I know you love me Kathleen dear
 G7                       C
Your heart was ever fond and true
              G7             C
I always feel when you are near
      G7    D                  G7
That life holds nothing dear but you

[Verse]
    F     G7                 C
The smiles that once you gave to me
     G7                         C
I scarcely ever seem them now
E             Am           C
Though many, many times I see
    D                       G7
A dark'ning shadow on your brow

[Chorus]
       C      G7                C
Oh, I will take you back Kathleen
   G7                            C
To where your heart will feel no pain
                                  F
And when the fields are fresh and green
     C        G7              C
I'll take you to your home again
