Katie was a looker, the finest thing I'd ever seen.
Gadd9Dsus4Cadd9
I got the courage, to ask her out when I turned eighteen.
Gadd9Dsus4Cadd9
Saturday, 8'oclock and not a minute late.
Gadd9Dsus4Cadd9
I pulled up in my beat up truck, and we headed towards the lake.
(Chorus 1)
Dsus4Cadd9Gadd9
She said, "Boy I sure do love your smile.
Dsus4Cadd9Gadd9
And I hope we can stay here for awhile.
Dsus4Cadd9Gadd9Dsus4Cadd9
But to tell the truth, I always knew.
AmDsus4Gadd9
I'd end up with a country boy like you."
Gadd9Dsus4Cadd9
A few years down the road, we both said, "I do."
Gadd9Dsus4Cadd9
Then we left that sleepy little town on a honeymoon cruise.
Gadd9Dsus4Cadd9
Soaking up the sunlight, and dancing on the beach.
Gadd9Dsus4Cadd9
I could feel the love she felt, when she looked at me.
(Chorus 2)
Dsus4Cadd9Gadd9
She said, "Boy I sure do love your smile.
Dsus4Cadd9Gadd9
And I hope we can stay here for awhile.
Dsus4Cadd9Gadd9Dsus4Cadd9
And to tell the truth, I always knew.
AmDsus4Gadd9
I'd end up with a country boy like you."

I got a call at about 7:15, from a hospital room.
Dsus4Cadd9
I heard the nurse on the other end say,
Em7Dsus4Cadd9
"I know it's hard to understand, but get here just as quick as you can.
Am Dsus4 (w/hammer)
There's been an accident."
Gadd9Dsus4Cadd9
I'm here at her bedside, and trying not cry.
Gadd9Dsus4Cadd9
The doctor said, "She ain't got long, time to say goodbye."
Gadd9Dsus4Cadd9
Katie opened her soft green eyes, and she looked at me.
Gadd9Dsus4Cadd9
I moved closer by her side, and I got down on my knees.
(Chorus 3)
Dsus4Cadd9Gadd9
And I said, "Girl I sure do love your smile.
Dsus4Cadd9Gadd9
And I know you need to go in a little while."
Dsus4Cadd9Gadd9Dsus4Cadd9
But to tell the truth, I always knew.
AmDsus4Gadd9
I'd fall in love with an angel like you."
