Katy Dear

Dm
Let out all your troubles with the 
boughs of fraying pine
       C                           
The proudest grove of hemlock, 
                   F
bring solace to your mind.
Before they burned the mountains, 
          Dm
and ran dry all the streams
                   C          
There was plenty to get by on, 
             F
plenty more to dream
                   C               
Before the heavy hand of greed came
     Am
 knocking at your door
C                       F
Telling lies in silver you always 
have endured
Singing who’ll rock the cradle, and 
Dm
who’ll sing this song?
C                               F
How will you survive the winters 
long?


[Chorus]
           Dm                   C
And it’s come on Katy dear
      F                          
It’s midnight on the water, and I 
                      Bb
swear that you can hear
Dm                      C
All the coy dogs howl

              F
There’s strapping colts in 
margaretsville, but that’s a way 
down south


[Solo]
Dm C F x2


[Verse]
That colt’s mane was spruce and his 
 Dm
cold heart was pine
      C                         F
They said he’d run on water, if I 
could pass the time
Dm
Early in the spring, when the ice 
began to thaw
C                                 
I’d ride him down the Delaware, 
      F
and bid farewell to all
           C                   
Before the tree trunks line the 
            Am
hills and bark it’ll line the roads
C                                 
They’re sending half the forest 
       F
down the stream in heavy loads.
Singing you never know what you’ve 
    Dm
got until it’s almost gone
   C                               
So who’ll rock the cradle when it’s
 F
 gone?


[Chorus]
      Dm                   C
And it’s come on Katy dear
      F                          
It’s midnight on the water, and I 
                      Bb
swear that you can hear
Dm                      C
All the coy dogs howl
              F
There’s strapping colts in 
margaretsville, but that’s a way 
down south

           Dm                   C
And it’s come on Katy dear
      F                          
It’s midnight on the water, and I 
                      Bb
swear that you can hear
Dm                      C
All the coy dogs howl
              F
There’s strapping colts in 
margaretsville, but that’s a way 
down south
