Emily Harper

Capo 3

D               G
Emily sat right next to me
     D                  G
Five days a week in the same bus 
seat
G                  A
For a girl she was pretty cool
            D             G
She wore an old ball cap, hated lace
         D                  G
Played a mean shortstop and second 
base
      G               A
Never missed a day of Sunday school
      Em
And I never told a soul back then
    G                A
But Emily Harper was my best friend

   D          A           G       
We carved our names on an old oak 
 A
limb
       D           A              
On the bank of the creek where we 
G       A
used to swim

  D        A         G           
A farmer's son and a preacher's 
    A
only daughter
   D       A                G     
We ran barefoot through the garden 
 A
gate
    D    A         G         A
All afternoon we'd laugh and play
         D        A       G      
'Til the sun went down on me and 
      D
Emily Harper


About the time I turned sixteen
I noticed Emily's eyes were green
And how they shined when I made her 
laugh
I liked it when her hair was down
I hated other guys around
I played it cool but I had it bad
Lord, her Daddy had a fit
When he caught me stealing my first 
kiss

Chorus 2:
We carved a heart on that old oak 
limb
On the bank of the creek where we 
used to swim
A farmer's son and a preacher's only
 daughter
We used to sneak off in my daddy's 
car
Sit on the hood and count the stars
'Til the sun came up on me and Emily
 Harper


Bridge:
G            A               Bm
It all seems just like yesterday
G                                
We grew up but some things never 
A
change

Chorus 3:
We still hold hands by that old oak 
limb
On the bank of the creek where we 
used to swim
A farmer's son and a preacher's only
 daughter
She sure did make a lovely bride
We vowed to grow old side by side
'Til the sun goes down on me and 
Emily Harper
Emily Harper
Me and Emily Harper
