She's In Love With The Boy

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

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

G                     C        D
Katy and Tommy at the drive-in movie
G                     C  D
Park in the very last row
G                        C         D
They're too busy holding on to one another
Em        D              C
To give a hoot about the show.
(To give a damn about the show. - Christine Albert)
(To even care about the show. - Trisha Yearwood)
G                        C      D
But later on outside the Tastee Freeze,
G                           C    D
Tommy slips something on her hand
G                                C       D
He says My high school ring will have to do
Em         D             C
Till I can buy a wedding band.
Chorus
G                           C         D
Her daddy's waiting up till half past twelve
G                              C   D
When they come sneaking up the walk
G                          C          D
He says, young lady get on up to your room
Em           D             C
While me and junior have a talk
G                                  C         D
But momma breaks in and says don't lose your temper
G                   C  D
It wasn't very long ago
G                            C        D
When you yourself was just a hay-seed ploughboy
Em                D      C
Who didn't have a row to hoe.

    G                 C              D
My daddy said you wasn't worth a lick
    G                                   C                D
When it came to brains, you had the short end of the stick
    G                          C       D
But he was wrong and honey you are too.
    G                            C              D
Katy looks at Tommy, the way I still look at you.
         G                C D
She's in love with the boy.
         G                C D
She's in Glove with the boy.
         G                C D
She's in love with the boy.
    Am                            C             D
And what was meant to be will always find a way
            C          D       G
She's gonna marry that boy someday.

         G                C D
She's in love with the boy.
         G                C D
She's in love with the boy.
