D C#m
Katie's been gone since the spring time;
Bm E7
She wrote one time'n sent her love
D C#m
Katie's been gone for such a long time now.
Bm E7
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 Em F#m
Well, I just don't know how things are with us.
G A7
I'm still here and you're out there.
D C#m
Katie laughed when I said I was lonely.
Bm E7
She said, There's no need t'feel that way.
D C#m
Katie said that I was her only one,
Bm E7
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 Em F#m
Oh, Katie, won't ya tell me straight:
f#m E7
How much longer do I have to wait?
G
I'll believe you,
A7
But please come through.
F A# Gm C
I know it's wrong to be apart this long;
A# Eb G A
You should be here, near me.
D C#m Bm E
Katie's been gone and now her face is slowly fading from my mind.
D C#m Bm E
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 Em F#m
Dear Katie, since you've been away
Bm E7
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,
Bm E7
just write, Love, to tell me you're fine.
D A
Oh, Katie, if you can hear me,
Bm E7
I just cant wait to have you near me.

A A# Gm D
What ya do, may be there's someone new.
