Katie's been gone since the spring time;
G#m C#7
She wrote one time'n sent her love
B A#m
Katie's been gone for such a long time now.
G#m C#7
I wonder what kind of love she's thinkin' of.

Dear Katie,
F#
If you can hear me,
B F#
I can't wait to have ya near me.
B
Oh, Katie, since ya
F#

B C#m D#m
Well, I just don't know how things are with us.
E F#7
I'm still here and you're out there.
B A#m
Katie laughed when I said I was lonely.
G#m C#7
She said, There's no need t'feel that way.
B A#m
Katie said that I was her only one,
G#m C#7
But then I wonder why she didn't wanna stay.
B
Dear Katie,
F#
if I'm the only one,
B F#
How much longer will you be gone?
B C#m D#m
Oh, Katie, won't ya tell me straight:

G C E F#
You should be here, near me.
B A#m G#m C#
Katie's been gone and now her face is slowly fading from my mind.
B A#m G#m C#
She's gone to find some newer places, Left the old life far behind.
B F#
Dear Katie, dont ya miss your home?
B F#
I dont see why you had to roam.
B C#m D#m
Dear Katie, since you've been away
G#m C#7
I lose a little something every day
