[Verse 1]
Am        E           F          C
Call me devil, call me friend
Am            E           F      C
But call me blackjack hooligan
Am            E           F       C
I came all the way from Aberdeen
C       C       E       E       F      F       Am
To live among the go-betweens
Am        E                F      C
Let me tell ya ‘bout Catfish Kate
Am              E                F     C
In the time before when she’s just Kate
Am              E         F      C
Here in the mountains, all alone
C    C    E    E    F    F    Am
Before the time we called this home


[Chorus]
C              Am
Where is my angel fallen
F               Dm
Down at the river bottom
G               C      Am    F
And will she get away?
C               Am
Where is my Blackfoot blossom
F                Dm
Is she just playing possum
G                 C      Am    F
Who lives another day?


[Verse 2]
Am        E           F       C
In the valley that we all know
Am         E          F          C
A river bend that’s deep and slow
Am             E           F          C
Where every creature drinks their fill
C    C    E    E    F    F    Am
And other creatures take their kill
Am        E           F       C
Now Kate went to catch a fish
Am          E           F      C
To put inside her favorite dish
Am        E           F          C
A creature grabbed her by the head
C    C    E    E    F    F    Am
And took her to his house instead


[Chorus]
C             Am
Where is my angel fallen
F              Dm
Down at the river bottom
G               C      Am    F
And will she get away?
C               Am
Where is my Blackfoot blossom
F               Dm
Is she just playing possum
G                C      Am    F
Who lives another day?


[Verse 3]
Am            E          F          C
They wrestled all the day and night
Am            E           F          C
The morning showed the bloody sight
Am            E           F          C
Kate all dressed in catfish clothes
C            E            F          Am
His whiskers for her catfish robe
C        E        F
Whiskers for her robe

C   Am   F


[Chorus]
C            Am
Where is my angel fallen
F             Dm
Down at the river bottom
G                   C      Am    F
And is she there to stay?
C             Am
Where is my Blackfoot blossom
F              Dm
Is she just playing possum
G                   C      Am    F
Who lives another day?
