Katy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Oh, I have a little daughter
and my daughter's name is Kate
She's [G]every [Dm]bit mischievous
as a [G]kitten on a skate
With the [C]bandage on her forehead
and the bruises on her [G]knees
[C]You'd [G]swear she'd
fought the buccaneers
on [C]all the seven seas
For she's up the stairs
and down the stairs
and in the room and out
Like a [G]miniature [Dm]tornado
she can [G]blow the house about
Take an [C]angel and the devil
in the twinkling of an eye
That's my Katie, little lady,
and I [G]love [Dm]her[C][G]
Now you [C]might believe in miracles,
you might believe in [G]saints
But you'd [Dm]never believe my Katie
when she's [G]playing with her paints
For there's [C]red upon her forehead
and there's green upon her face
In her [G]hair and in her eyes,
but on the paper [F]not a [C]trait
When she's in her room and quiet
and there comes a kind of [G]calm
You de[Dm]velop the sensation
that you're sitting [G]on a bomb
Take an [C]angel and the devil
in the twinkling of an eye
That's my Katie, little [G]lady,
and I love [C]her[G]
Now my [C]Katie loves her game, you know,
and thirty times a week
I [Dm]find myself dragooned
into a [G]game of hide -and -seek
So I [C]find myself in closets under beds
I quietly creep
And [G]wait for thirty minutes
till my [C]brain has [F]gone to [C]sleep
Yes, I wait for half an hour
and it feels like half a [G]day
Then I [Dm]find a friend has come to call
and Katie's gone [G]out to play
Take an [C]angel and the devil
and the twinklin' of an eye
That's my Katie, little lady, [G]and I love [C]her
[Ab]Now I'm [Db]sure you've heard of f[Ab]athers
[Db]who would dote upon their girls
Who get [Ebm]wrapped around their fingers
with the [Ab]touch of an abacur
Who are [Db]fooled by hugs and kisses
till there's nothin' they wouldn't do
Well, [Ab]don't believe a word of it,
it simply [Gb]isn't [Db]true
Cos I'd only jump the moon for her,
I'd only swim the sea
For the [Ab]hugs I [Absus4]get to give h[Abm]er
and the [Ab]kiss she gives to me
Take an [Db]angel and a devil
and a twinklin' of an eye
That's my Katy, little lady,
and I [Ab]love [Db]her
Take an angel and a devil
and a twinklin' of an eye
That's my Katy, [Gb]little [Db]lady,
and I [Ab]love [Db]her
