[Verse]
G
I come up from the bottom run
Am
I been huntin and I had my gun
G
Wind was still, things were quiet
Am                           C  G
I called for Katie there was no reply

[Verse]
G
I checked the shed I checked the barn
Am
I opened the door and there she was
G
In the arms of my friend Joe
Am                     C    G
And she wasn't wearing many clothes

[Chorus]
G
Katie, Katie what I do?
Am
I was so in love with you
G
Worked my fingers to the bone
Am                   C       G
I never even wanted this old farm

[Verse]
G
Joe tried to talk he just coughed
Am
My heart stopped the gun went off
G
Katie screamed out his name
Am                    C    G
And then the gun went off again

[Chorus]
G
Katie, Katie what I do?
Am
I was so in love with you
G
I Worked my fingers to the bone
Am                   C       G
I never even wanted this old farm

[Verse]
G
I wrapped 'em up in gunny sacks
Am
I hitched a wagon threw 'em in the back
G
I buried that Joe down by the creek
Am                        C      G
I laid my Katie 'neath a hickory tree

[Chorus]
G
Katie, Katie what I do?
Am
I was so in love with you
G
I Worked my fingers to the bone
Am                   C       G
I never even wanted this old farm

[Verse]
G
Now there's houses up all around this farm
Am
Staring into new backyards
G
And every day they come by
Am                     C         G
But I won't sell and I won't say why

[Chorus]

G
I Worked my fingers to the bone
Am                   C       G

Am                   C       G
