A# Am
Katie's been gone since the spring time;
Gm C7
She wrote one time'n sent her love
A# Am
Katie's been gone for such a long time now.
Gm C7
I wonder what kind of love she's thinkin' of.
A#
Dear Katie,
F
If you can hear me,
A# F
I can't wait to have ya near me.
A#
Oh, Katie, since ya
F
caught that bus,
A# Cm Dm
Well, I just don't know how things are with us.
D# F7
I'm still here and you're out there.
A# Am
Katie laughed when I said I was lonely.
Gm C7
She said, There's no need t'feel that way.
A# Am
Katie said that I was her only one,
Gm C7
But then I wonder why she didn't wanna stay.
A#
Dear Katie,
F
if I'm the only one,
A# F
How much longer will you be gone?
A# Cm Dm
Oh, Katie, won't ya tell me straight:
f#m C7
How much longer do I have to wait?
D#
I'll believe you,
F7
But please come through.
C# F# D#m G#
I know it's wrong to be apart this long;
F# Cb D# F
You should be here, near me.
A# Am Gm C
Katie's been gone and now her face is slowly fading from my mind.
A# Am Gm C
She's gone to find some newer places, Left the old life far behind.
A# F
Dear Katie, dont ya miss your home?
A# F
I dont see why you had to roam.
A# Cm Dm
Dear Katie, since you've been away
Gm C7
I lose a little something every day
D# F
I need you here, but you're still out there.
A# F
Dear Katie, please drop me a line,
Gm C7
just write, Love, to tell me you're fine.
A# F
Oh, Katie, if you can hear me,
Gm C7
I just cant wait to have you near me.
D#
I can only think where are you,
F F# D#m A#
What ya do, may be there's someone new.
