Katie's been gone since the spring time;
Cm F7
She wrote one time'n sent her love
D# Dm
Katie's been gone for such a long time now.
Cm F7
I wonder what kind of love she's thinkin' of.
D#
Dear Katie,
A#
If you can hear me,
D# A#
I can't wait to have ya near me.
D#
Oh, Katie, since ya
A#
caught that bus,
D# Fm Gm
Well, I just don't know how things are with us.
G# A#7
I'm still here and you're out there.
D# Dm
Katie laughed when I said I was lonely.
Cm F7
She said, There's no need t'feel that way.
D# Dm
Katie said that I was her only one,
Cm F7
But then I wonder why she didn't wanna stay.
D#
Dear Katie,
A#
if I'm the only one,
D# A#
How much longer will you be gone?
D# Fm Gm
Oh, Katie, won't ya tell me straight:
f#m F7
How much longer do I have to wait?
G#
I'll believe you,
A#7
But please come through.
F# B G#m C#
I know it's wrong to be apart this long;
B Fb G# A#
You should be here, near me.
D# Dm Cm F
Katie's been gone and now her face is slowly fading from my mind.
D# Dm Cm F
She's gone to find some newer places, Left the old life far behind.
D# A#
Dear Katie, dont ya miss your home?
D# A#
I dont see why you had to roam.
D# Fm Gm
Dear Katie, since you've been away
Cm F7
I lose a little something every day
G# A#
I need you here, but you're still out there.
D# A#
Dear Katie, please drop me a line,
Cm F7
just write, Love, to tell me you're fine.
D# A#
Oh, Katie, if you can hear me,
Cm F7
I just cant wait to have you near me.

A# B G#m D#
What ya do, may be there's someone new.
