 G                         D   G 
 Well I was working on the KCS Rail Line
 Em                          D
 Katie was the girl down the street
        G             D            Em        C
 Well I took her to a dance on the Fourth of July
 G                D                G
 Hopin she might fall in love with me


 G                     D                G
 Well the band started playing right at nine
 Em                           D
 Firecrackers popped in the sky
    G             D    
 We danced and we danced
        Em          C
 Lord I never had a chance
       G             D      G
 I got canned on the 5th of July
 

 [Chorus]
     D                 G    
 And we laughed at the moonlight
       Em                          D
 Said goodbye in the grey light of dawn
         G          D               Em             C     
 Yes the girl in my dreams each and every night it seems
        G          D          G   
 Is the one that I hold in my arms


G  D  Em  C

       G             D             G
 I was playin in the Tommy Knocker Tavern
 Em                        D
 Jenny was the girl at the bar
        G          D        Em          C
 Well I sang every song for her and her alone
     G                    D         G 
 And kissed her neath the Colorado stars



[Chorus]
     D                 G    
 And we laughed at the moonlight
       Em                          D
 Said goodbye in the grey light of dawn
         G          D               Em             C     
 Yes the girl in my dreams each and every night it seems
        G          D          G   
 Is the one that I hold in my arms

 G                D                         G
 Seasons come and change just like the leaves
 Em                           D
 Red oaks in the kai nation wind
      G                     D
 Well they scatter and they fall
            Em             C
 Where they land I can't recall
        G            D          G  
 Will I ever find my darlin again



 [Chorus]
     D                 G    
 And we laughed at the moonlight
       Em                          D
 Said goodbye in the grey light of dawn
         G          D               Em             C     
 Yes the girl in my dreams each and every night it seems
        G          D          G   
 Is the one that I hold in my arms



         G          D               Em             C     
 Yes the girl in my dreams each and every night it seems
        G          D          G   
 Is the one that I hold in my arms
