It's actually either in Eb or E, so capo up three or four frets from 
  what I typed in....

C         C            F         G
  Katie's sitting on the old front porch
C              C               F     G
  Watching the chickens peck the ground
C               C             F    G
  There ain't a whole lot going on tonight
Am        G         F      F - G
  In this one horse town.
C      C       F              G
  Over yonder, coming up the road
C      C             F       G
  In a beat-up Chevy truck
C               C           F              G
  Her boyfriend Tommy, he's laying on the horn
Am                      G            F    F - G
  Splashing through the mud and the muck

C           C      F                G
  Her daddy says, "he ain't worth a lick
C                 C                  F                G
  When it came to brains, he got the short end of the stick"
C             C                 F          G
  But Katie's young and man she just don't care
Am       G          F      G 
  She'd follow Tommy anywhere

           C             C    F   G
  She's in love with the boy
           C             C    F   G
  She's in love with the boy
           C             C    F   G
  She's in love with the boy
      Dm           F           G     G
  And even if they have to run away
              F          G        C   C   F   G
  She's gonna marry that boy someday

Katie and Tommy at the drive-in movie
Parked in the very last row
They're too busy holding on to one another
To even care about the show
But later on outside the Tastee Freeze,
Tommy slips something on her hand 
He says, "my high school ring will have to do
Till I can buy a wedding band"

Her daddy says, "he ain't worth a lick
When it came to brains, he got the short end of the stick"
But Katie's young and man she just don't care
She'd follow Tommy anywhere
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
And even if they have to run away
She's gonna marry that boy someday

Her daddy's waiting up till half past twelve
When they come sneaking up the walk
He says, "young lady get on up to your room
While me and junior have a talk"
But Mama breaks in and says, "don't lose your temper
It wasn't very long ago
When you yourself was just a hay-seed plowboy
Who didn't have a row to hoe"

"My daddy said you wasn't worth a lick
When it came to brains, you had the short end of the stick
But he was wrong and honey you are too
Katie looks at Tommy like I still look at you"

She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
What's meant to be will always find a way
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
        Dm              F             G    G
What's meant to be will always find a way
            F          G       C   C   F   G
She's gonna marry that boy someday.
         C             C    F   G
She's in love with the boy....
