I have arranged this song to be played quite slowly. You will play two of the three diminished chords.

Strumming: I find it makes a nice sound if you brush down softly with pointer and up with thumb.

You don't have to 'sound' every string with each brushstroke of your strum.

I'll take you home a-gain Kathleen, a-cross the ocean wild and wide

to where your heart has ever been, since first you were my bonny bride.

The roses all have left your cheek; I've watched them fade away and die;

your voice is sad when - e'er you speak, and tears be - dim your loving eyes.

Oh, I will take you back Kath leen, to where your heart will know no pain

and when the fields are fresh and green, I'll take you to your home a gain.
