Chords for Simon & Garfunkel - Kathy's Song - Live, 2003

_ _ _ _ _ Back in the early _ 1960s, we _ _ [D] _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [G] were two college people who were poor.
[Gm] _ [D] Like a lot of people, we would look for these flights, these [Am] charter flights to [D] go to Europe.
We'd bop around Paris, London, and we would street sing.
[G] You made your money so you could eat by singing in the streets.
And we'd bring our friend Kathy, and she'd collect the money so we [Am] could eat.
And we would do [G] this song, [D] and I want to put it on the show tonight [G] because it's pure nostalgia,
and I think it's still Paul Simon's most beautiful love song. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [G]
I hear the dreams, I hear the dreams
_ _ Like the river in [D] the _ falls
[G] Salt and water _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [Am] tapping [D] on my roof and [G] walls _ _
From the shelter of my mind _
Through the [Bm] window of [D] my _ eyes
I [G] gaze beyond the [C] raindrop streets
_ [Am] To remember _ [G]
my heartline
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [G] _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ My mind's distracted and _ diffused
_ [D] [Em] My thoughts are [G] many _ [D] miles away
[G] They lie with you when [A] you're [C] asleep
And [Am] kiss [D] you when you start to [G] bleed
And a song I was writing is left undone
I [Am] _ [G] don't know why I spend [D] my time
_ _ [G] Writing songs I [C] can't believe
_ [Am]
Words [G] that tear [A] and strain [G] to run _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
So you see I have come to doubt
_ [Am] _ [G] All that I [D] once knew is true
_ _ _ [G] I'd stand alone [D]
without [C] beliefs
_ [G] _ [Am] The only [G] truth I [D] know [G] is you _ _ _
_ _ As I watch the drops of rain
_ _ Weep [D] their weary [Am] paths tonight
I [G] _ _
_ am like [C] the rain _
[Am] There [D] but for the grace [Dm] of you [G] go I
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
