Found lots of lyrics and a couple midi's for this one. Having a hard time picking up the chords from the computer. Anybody have them handy? Any key will do. Thanks.

       F        Gm7             F  
I'll take you home again, Kathleen  
    C7                      F  
Across the ocean wild and wide  
    F          Gm7            F  
To where your heart has ever been  
       C         G7              C  
Since first you were my bonnie bride  
     C7                       F  
The roses all have left you cheek  
       C7                        F  
I've watched them fade away and die  
       Dm              Gm       Dm  
Your voice is sad whene'er you speak  
      G7                     C  
And tears bedim your lovin' eyes  
  
CHORUS  
F Gm7 F C7 F F7 Bb F C7 F

Hope this is what you need Slan

You can get sheetmusic (Thomas P. Westendorf's original, with his piano accompaniment; published 1876) at The Lester S. Levy Collection of Sheet Music:

I'LL TAKE YOU HOME AGAIN, KATHLEEN

For some interesting background information, see this thread:  Take Kathleen home to where?

Many thanks for the chords as well as the Lester Levy Collection link. I'm attempting to learn the song and am having a difficult time with the portion "your voice is sad when eer you speak". Maybe the minor resolve sounds strange in my "modern" ear.

Have you guys listened to the words to this song? I think Westendorf may have been pleased to get Old Kathleen back home and off his back!
