Katie's Been Gone

A                     G#m
     Katie's been gone since the spring time; 
     F#m                  B7 
     She wrote one time'n sent her love 
     A                     G#m  
     Katie's been gone for such a long time now. 
     F#m                              B7 
     I wonder what kind of love she's thinkin' of. 
      
     A 
     Dear Katie, 
     E 
     If you can hear me, 
     A                E 
     I can't wait to have ya near me. 
      
     A 
     Oh, Katie, since ya  
     E 
     caught that bus, 
     A                       Bm         C#m 
     Well, I just don't know how things are with us. 
     D                  E7 
     I'm still here and you're out there. 
      
     A                     G#m
     Katie laughed when I said I was lonely. 
     F#m                  B7 
     She said, There's no need t'feel that way. 
     A                     G#m  
     Katie said that I was her only one, 
     F#m                              B7 
     But then I wonder why she didn't wanna stay. 
      
     A
     Dear Katie,  
     E
     if I'm the only one, 
     A                    E
     How much longer will you be gone? 
     A           Bm                C#m
     Oh, Katie, won't ya tell me straight: 
     F#m                  B7
     How much longer do I have to wait? 
      
     D
     I'll believe you, 
     E7
     But please come through. 
      
     C           F           Dm         G
     I know it's wrong to be apart this long; 
     F           Bb      D    E
     You should be here, near me.     
      
     A                     G#m        
     Katie's been gone and now her face 
       F#m                 B
     is slowly fading from my mind. 
     A             G#m                    
     She's gone to find some newer places,
     F#m               B 
     Left the old life far behind. 
      
     A                   E
     Dear Katie, dont ya miss your home? 
     A                  E
     I dont see why you had to roam. 
      
     A                        Bm    C#m
     Dear Katie, since you've been away 
     F#m                  B7
     I lose a little something every day 
     D                     E
     I need you here, but you're still out there. 
     A                   E
     Dear Katie, please drop me a line, 
          F#m             B7
     just write, Love, to tell me you're fine. 
           
     A                     E
     Oh, Katie, if you can hear me, 
     F#m                          B7
     I just cant wait to have you near me. 
     D
     I can only think where are you, 
     E                       F  Dm        A
     What ya do, may be there's someone new.
