See you through the window
G               D               C                    D
   See you next time that we're talking on the telephone
                G            D  C
And I've got to see you 
   D           G          D  C  D
in that Indian summer

In the Celtic New Year

    If I don't see you 
         C      D      G         D  C  D
when I'm  going down Louisiana
           G           D  C
If I don't see you
                        D
well on down on Bourbon Street
             G     D         C         D
If you don't see me when I'm singing,
        G           D    C   D
Jack of Diamonds
             G           D   C
If you don't see me 
                     D
when I'm on my lucky streak
          C
Whoa-O-O,   I want you, want you to come on back
G       D            C
   I've made it very clear

If I don't see you
    D                      G           D     C   D
down when the bonfires are burning, burning
           G                  D       C              D
If I don't see you when we're singing,  the Gloriana tune
               G       D         C      D                  G         D  C   D
If I've got to see you when it's raining   deep inside the forest
               G         D   C
If I've got to see you      
                     D
at the waning of the moon
         C
Said, Oh-oh-oh, won't you come on back?
            G  D          C
Want you to be    of good cheer
