(These fills can be played at the end of the 1st, 2nd, and 5th lines of the verses, in place of the corresponding chords.) [Intro] Am [Verse 1]
Am                                          Dm
   It's plain to see, the sun won't shine today.

Am                                         Dm
   But I ain't in the mood for sunshine anyway.

Em7                Dm
   Maybe I'll go insane,

F           C             Am
   I got to stop the pain.

Dm                  Am      Em      Am
   Or maybe I'll go down to see Kathleen.
[Verse 2]
Am                                     Dm
   A swallow comes and tells me of her dreams.

Am                                            Dm
   She says she'd like to know just what they mean.

Em7                    Dm
   I feel like I could die

     F         C      Am
As I watch her flying by.

Dm                     Am      Em      Am
   Ride the north wind down to see Kathleen.
[Verse 3]
Am                                   Dm
   Stars hang high above, the oceans roar.

Am                                     Dm
   The moon has come to lead me to her door.

Em7                           Dm
   There's crystal 'cross the sand

        F           C       Am
And the waves, they take my hand.

Dm                Am     Em        Am
   Soon I'm gonna see my sweet Kathleen.

Dm                Am     Em        Am
   Soon I'm gonna see my sweet Kathleen.
