Intro:

E5 C5 G5 G5 x3
D5 C5 (silence)

Verse:
E5  C5       G5
Lay down my head by the wayside
E5  C5       G5
My worn out shoes
E5    C5       G5
Quite why she went I can't decide
D5                     C5
Yeah but I sure could use
E5  C5        G5
One plate of food steaming and hot
E5    C5     G5
Clean linen ironed
E5   C5          G5
On a fresh made bed but I ain't got
D5         C5     D5         E5   C5   G5
One salty dime, one salty dime


Just close your eyes it won't take long
It won't hurt a bit
Telling myself I could be strong
Or some such brave bullshit
Trucks are roaring by I'm a red ghost
In their tail light gleam
I'm a tumbleweed, I'm a spit roast
Just turning in your flame
Oh my darlin' Kathleen
Oh my darlin' Kathleen

Cars they sound like waves that are breaking
On some distant shore
I gazed so hard into the great aching sky
It seemed that I, I wasn't here no more
That my rushing blood was a river
My eyes two stars
My blowing hair all a quiver
A whispering field of grass
That murmurs as you pass
Oh my darlin' Kathleen
That whispers out your name
Oh my darlin' Kathleen
Oh my darlin' Kathleen
