Paul Simon — Kathy’s Song

G         C              G
I hear the drizzle of the rain  
 A     Em  C     D7   
Like a memory it falls 
 G       Bm   G      C
Soft and warm continuing  
 A      Em    D        G    C G
Tapping on my roof and walls  
  
 G           C             G
And from the shelter of my mind 
 A          Em     C     D7 
Through the window of my eyes 
 G        Bm      G             C 
I gaze beyond the rain drenched streets  
 A         Em       D     G   C G 
To England where my heart lies   
  
 G           C              G
My mind's distracted and diffused  
 Am             Em    C      D7 
My thoughts are many miles away 
 G            Bm       G       C
They lie with you when you're asleep  
 Am          Em       D          G  C G  
And kiss you when you start your day   
  
 G               C                 G
And a song I was writing is left undone  
 Am          Em    C         D7 
I don't know why I spent the time 
 G      Bm     G       C   
Writing song I can't believe  
 Am             Em       D         G    C G 
With words that tear and strain to rhyme   
  
 G         C                  G
And so you see I have come to doubt  
 Am      Em     C       D7
All that I once held as true 
 G       Bm       G     C 
I stand alone without beliefs  
 
 Am      Em      D       G  C G  
The only truth I know is you  
  
 G       C                  G
And as I watch the drops of rain  
 Am         Em    C         D7  
weave their weary paths and die 
 G          Bm   G        C
I know that I am like the rain 
 Am       Em               D      G  C G 
There but for the grace of you go I
