[C]
[Am][F][C][G][F]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Lay down[F] my head by th[C]e wayside
[Am]My worn [F]out shoe[C]s
[Am]Quite why [F]she went I can[C]'t decide
[G]Yeah but I sure could [F]use
[Am]One plat[F]e of food stea[C]ming and hot
[Am]Clean line[F]n iron[C]ed
[Am]On a fre[F]sh made bed but [C]I ain't got
[G]One salty dim[F]e,
[G]one salty dime

[Interlude 1]
[Am][F][C][Am][F][C]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Just close[F] your eyes,[C]
it won't take long
[Am]It won't hurt [F]a bit[C]
[Am]Telling myse[F]lf I cou[C]ld be strong
[G]Or some such brave bullshit
[F]Tru[Am]cks are roa[F]ring by, I'm a r[C]ed ghost
[Am]In their[F] tail light glea[C]m
[Am]I'm a tu[F]mbleweed, I'm [C]a spit roast
[G]Turning in your fla[F]me
[G]Oh my darlin' Kath[Am]leen[F][C]
[Am][F]

[Interlude 2]
[C][Am][F][C][G][F]

[Verse 3]
[Am]Cars they [F]sound like waves[C]
that are breaking
[Am]On some distant [F]shor[C]e
[Am]I gazed so l[F]ong into the g[C]reat
aching sky
It seemed like [G]I wasn't here n[F]o more

[Verse 4]
[Am]My rushi[F]ng blood was a[C] river
[Am]My eyes [F]two star[C]s
[Am]My blowi[F]ng hair all [C]a quiver
[G]A whispering field of g[F]rass
[G]That murmurs as you pas[F]s
[G]Oh my darlin' Kath[Am]leen[F][C]
[G]That whispers out your [F]name
[G]Oh my darlin' Kat[F]hleen
[G]Oh my darlin' Kathlee[Am]n
