Music by Frederick Crouch Words by Marion Crawford VERSE 1 Eb Kathleen Mavourneen! the grey dawn is breaking Bb7 Eb The horn of the hunter is heard on the hill; Ab The lark from her light wing the bright dew is shaking, Eb Bb7 Eb Kathleen Mavourneen! what, slumbering still! Cm G7 Cm G7 Oh hast thou forgotten how soon we must sever? Cm F7 Bb7 Oh, hast thou forgotten this day we must part? Eb Ab It may be for years, and it may be forever; Eb Bb7 Eb Oh, why art thou silent, thou voice of my heart? Fm Eb Bb7 Eb It may be for years, and it may be forever; Fm Eb Bb7 Eb Then why art thou silent, Kathleen Mavourneen? VERSE 2 Eb Kathleen Mavourneen! awake from thy slumbers; Bb7 Eb The blue mountains glow in the sun's golden light; Ab Ah! where is the spell that once hung on my numbers? Eb Bb7 Eb Arise in thy beauty, thou star of my night. Cm G7 Cm G7 Mavourneen, Mavourneen, my sad tears are falling, Cm F7 Bb7 To think that from Erin and thee I must part; Eb Ab It may be for years, and it may be forever; Eb Bb7 Eb Then why art thou silent, thou voice of my heart? Fm Eb Bb7 Eb It may be for years, and it may be forever; Fm Eb Bb7 Eb Then why art thou silent, Kathleen Mavourneen?
