I’ll Take You Home Kathleen
C G G7 B C G7 G G7 C
I will take you home Kathleen, across the ocean wild and wide,
G G7 B C G D7 C D7 G
To where your heart has ever been, since first you were my bonny bride.
G7 B C G7 Dm7 C
The roses have all left your cheeks, Ive watched them fade and die,
E7 Am Dm E E7 D7 C Dm C D7 G
Your voice is sad when e er you speak, and tears bedim your loving eyes.
C G G7 B C G7 G G7 C
Oh, I will take you back Kathleen, to where your heart will feel no pain,
C7 F C C7 Dm7 C
And when the fields are fresh and green, Ill take you to your home again.

G G7 B C G7 G G7 C
I know you love me, Kathleen dear, your heart was ever fond and true,
G7 B C G D7 C D7 C
I always feel when you are near, that life holds nothing, dear, but you.
G7 G B C G7 Dm7 C
The smiles that once you gave to me, I scarcely ever see them now,
E7 Am Dm E A7 D7 C Dm C D7 G
Though many times I see, a dark ning shadow on your brow.
C G G7 B C G7 G G7 C
Oh, I will take you back Kathleen, to where your heart will feel no pain,
C7 F C C7 Dm7 C
And when the fields are fresh and green, Ill take you to your home again.
G G7 B C G7 G G7 C
To that dear home beyond the sea, my Kathleen shall again return,
G7 B C G D7 C D7 C
And when thy old friends welcome thee, thy loving heart will cease to yearn.
G7 G B C G7 Dm7 C
Where laughs the little silver stream, besides your mother’s humble cot,
E7 Am Dm E A7 D7 C Dm C F C
And brightest rays of sunshine gleam, there all your grief will be forgot.
