            Capo 3
[Verse 1]
G                      C                        Am
Tumbling curls of green by stainglass streaming light
C           D                G   C                     D
And a yellow coloured lampshade used to keep us up all night
G                             C                    Am
And the smile upon her face, the tears upon your cheek
C              D             G
And the night sky on the window
C                         D
Your heart calling out to me.
[Chorus]
G
Come running home again, Katie
C                   Am
Come running home again
C         D                G
Cross my heart and hope to die
C                                    D
Shall I cause another tear from your eye
[Verse 2]
G                       C                          Am
The mirror that won't talk and your nightgown on the door
C             D       G   C                   D
And the old pedal singer just don't sing no more
G                               C
You can roll the reels for hours
C                       Am
From the movie of this book
C                D                     G
It's a question mark on this heart of mine
C                         D
Sends an elder back to look.
[Chorus]
G
Come running home again, Katie
C                   Am
Come running home again
C         D                G
Cross my heart and hope to die
C                                    D
Shall I cause another tear from your eye, Katie
[Verse 3]
G                       C                      Am
Now I'm looking through a tunnel, back into the room
C             D         G   C                            D
With the genius of a druid when the sunlight floods the tomb
G                            C                    Am
And I'm never going back there, and I couldn't anyway
C             D            G   C                    D
'cause though I made the great escape, I never got away.
[Chorus]
G
Come running home again, Katie
C                   Am
Come running home again
C         D                G
Cross my heart and hope to die
C                                    D
Shall I cause another tear from your eye
