C#m                                     F#m
It's plain to see the sun won't shine today.
C#m                                     F#m
But I ain't in the mood for sunshine anyway.
G#m              F#m  A           E        C#m
Maybe I'll go insane, I've got to stop the pain.
F#m           A        E      C#m
Maybe I'll go down and see Kathleen.

C#m                                  F#m
The swallow comes to tell me of her dreams.
C#m                                       F#m
She says she'd like to know just what they mean.
G#m                 F#m      A         E      C#m
I feel like I could die as I watch her flyin' by.
F#m                 A        E      C#m
Ride the North wind down to see Kathleen. 
                
C#m                                  F#m
The stars hang high above the oceans roar.
C#m                                 F#m
The moon has come to lead me to her door.
G#m                       F#m       A          E       C#m
There's crystal cross the sand, the waves they take my hand.
F#m            A      E        C#m
Soon I'm gonna see my sweet Kathleen.
