Well I was working on the KCS Rail Line
Em                          D
Katie was the girl down the street
       G             D            Em        C
Well I took her to a dance on the Fourth of July
G                D                 G
Hopin' she might fall in love with me

Well the band started playing right at nine
Em                         D
Firecrackers popped in the sky

We danced and we danced
Em                 C
Lord I never had a chance
      G             D      G
I got canned on the 5th of July

       D              G
And we laughed at the moonlight

Said goodbye in the grey light of dawn
        G          D               Em             C
Yes the girl of my dreams each and every night it seems

Is the one that I hold in my arms

Jenny was the girl at the bar
       G          D        Em          C
Well I sang every song for her and her alone
    G                     D        G
And kissed her 'neath the Colorado stars

Verse 3:
G                D                    G       D/F#
Seasons come and change just like the leaves
Em                         D
Red oaks in the Kai Nation wind
          G                D
Well they scatter and they fall
           Em             C
Where they land I can't recall
       G            D       G
Will I ever find my darlin' again
