Katie's been gone since the spring time;
Em A7
She wrote one time'n sent her love
G F#m
Katie's been gone for such a long time now.
Em A7
I wonder what kind of love she's thinkin' of.
G
Dear Katie,
D
If you can hear me,
G D
I can't wait to have ya near me.
G
Oh, Katie, since ya
D
caught that bus,
G Am Bm
Well, I just don't know how things are with us.
C D7
I'm still here and you're out there.
G F#m
Katie laughed when I said I was lonely.
Em A7
She said, There's no need t'feel that way.
G F#m
Katie said that I was her only one,
Em A7
But then I wonder why she didn't wanna stay.
G
Dear Katie,
D
if I'm the only one,
G D
How much longer will you be gone?
G Am Bm
Oh, Katie, won't ya tell me straight:
f#m A7
How much longer do I have to wait?
C
I'll believe you,
D7
But please come through.
A# D# Cm F
I know it's wrong to be apart this long;
D# Ab C D
You should be here, near me.
G F#m Em A
Katie's been gone and now her face is slowly fading from my mind.
G F#m Em A
She's gone to find some newer places, Left the old life far behind.
G D
Dear Katie, dont ya miss your home?
G D
I dont see why you had to roam.
G Am Bm
Dear Katie, since you've been away
Em A7
I lose a little something every day
C D
I need you here, but you're still out there.
G D
Dear Katie, please drop me a line,
Em A7
just write, Love, to tell me you're fine.
G D
Oh, Katie, if you can hear me,
Em A7
I just cant wait to have you near me.
C
I can only think where are you,
D D# Cm G
What ya do, may be there's someone new.
