Katherine Of Oregon - Al Stewart Chords

Chords: From, Beach, Full, F#, C#, G#, Fm, G#m, F#m, E

More chords by Al Stewart

Genre: folk, rock, protest

From the album "A Beach Full of Shells" (2005)

Tips to simplify for the novice player:

- Transpose one step down to C to avoid barré chords.

- To still play in the key of the recording, use capo on 1st fret.

- In both cases, ignore the instrumental break.

- Al plays slightly different outros after each chorus, but you can

reasonably use the intro for all.

[Intro]
F# C# G# C#
F# C# G# C#

[Verse 1]
C# Fm F# C#
When I get even more old than I am now
C# Fm F# G#
I'll have a house overlooking the water
C# Fm F# C#
I'll read all the books that I never got 'round to
C# Fm F# G#
Pile all my suitcases up in the corner

[Chorus 1]
G# C# G# C#
The lights of the city they blink off and on again
C# Fm F# G#
Names in my memory are there, then they're gone again
G# C# F# G#
Albums of photographs spread on the floor again
C# Fm F# C#
I'll spend my evenings with Katherine of Oregon
C# Fm F# G# C#
C# Fm F# G# C#

[Verse 2]
C# Fm F# C#
I'll fill my garage up with things I've no use for
C# Fm F# G#
Obsolete knick-knacks that there's no excuse for
C# Fm F# C#
I'll turn my back on the world's grand illusions
C# Fm F# G#
Take my delights in the simplest amusements

[Chorus 2]
G# C# G# C#
The lights of the city they blink off and on again
C# Fm F# G#
Names in my memory are there, then they're gone again
G# C# F# G#
Albums of photographs spread on the floor again
C# Fm F# C#
I'll spend my evenings with Katherine of Oregon
