Katie, Lyrics and chords by Mary Black
The version of the guitar chords in G are very easy to play, just a simple 3 chord job.The sheet music notes for tin whistle are included. And written by Jimmy McCarthy. Go to the section of Mary Black songs for more of her lyrics and guitar chords .
This is a more simplified version of the chords, a straight forward three chord job. have a look at other sites which include this song and you will find that they all have the same chords, they have all copied from each other, the chords they use include, Bm7, C/B, Cmaj7 and Am/E, The likes of them chords are way too difficult for the average guitar player, I believe in keeping songs easy for the player. But I also included the chords as used in the Mary Black version anyway.

[G]Tumbling curls of green[C] by stainglass streaming light
And a yellow[D] coloured lamp[G]shade used to keep us up all[D] night [G]And the smile upon her face, the[C] tears upon your cheek And the night sky[D] on the[G] window Your heart calling out to[D] me. Chorus [G]Come running home again, katie Come [C]running home again Cross my[D] heart and[G] hope to[C] die Shall I cause another tear from your [D]eye Katie The[G] mirror that won’t talk and your[C] nightgown on the door And the old[D] pedal[G] singer just don’t sing no[D] more You[G] can roll the reels for hours From the[C] movie of this book It’s a question mark[D] on this[G] heart of mine Sends an elder back to[C] look. Chorus Now I’m looking through a tunnel Back into the room With the genius of a druid when the sunlight floods the tomb And I’m never going back there, and I couldn’t anyway ’cause though I made the great escape I never got away. |
