Kathleen chords by Townes Van Zandt

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.
