                   G  Bm7*              C       C    C/B  Am  
Tumbling curls of green by stain-glass streaming light
          Am/E         D7      G  Bm7*                    Cmaj7  D  
And a yellow coloured lampshade, used to keep us up all night
                        G  Bm7*                 C    C/B  Am  
And the smile upon your face, the tears upon your cheek
               Am/E        D7       G  Bm7*
And the night sky on the window
Your hCmaj7eart calling out to mDeD/C  G/B  A7sus4  
             G    Em/A  Bm7*
Come running home again, Katie
Come rCunning home C/BagaiAmn
       Am/E         D7       G  Bm7*
Cross my heart and hope to die
Shall I cCmaj7ause another Dtear from your eye
The mirror that won't talk and your night gown on the door
And the old pedal singer just don't sing no more
You can roll the reels for hours
From the movie   of this book
It's a question mark on this heart of mine
Sends an elder back to look
Come running home again, Katie
Come running home again
Cross my heart and hope to die
Shall I cause another tear from your eye, Katie
Break
Now I'm looking through a tunnel
Back into the room
With the genius of a druid, when the sunlight floods the tomb
And I'm never going back there, and I couldn't anyway
'Cause though I made the great escape
I never got away
Come running home again, Katie
Come running home again
Cross my heart and hope to die
Shall I cause another tear from your eye
Come running home again, Katie
Come running home again
Cross my heart and hope to die
Shall I cause another tear from your eye, Katie
