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

[Verse]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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 Katy's young and man she just don't care
Am         G          F       G
   She'd follow Tommy anywhere

[Chorus]
           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

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

[Pre-Chorus]
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 Katy's young and man she just don't care
Am        G          F      G
  She'd follow Tommy anywhere

[Chorus]
           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

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

[Pre-Chorus]
C          C          F              G
  My daddy said, "you wasn't worth a lick
C                 C                   F                G
  When it came to brains, you had the short end of the stick"
C            C               F       G
  but he was wrong and honey you are too
Am               G          F               G
  Katie looks at Tommy like I still look at you

[Chorus]
           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
  What's meant to be will always find a way
           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

[Outro]
        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....
