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.
