Shes In Love With The Boy

{tuning: Standard (EADGBE)}
[G]Katy's sitting on the [C]old front [D]porch
[G]Watching the chickens peck the [C]ground[D].
[G]There ain't a whole lot going [C]on to[D]night
[Em]In this [D]one horse [C]town.
[G]Over yonder, [C]coming up the [D]road
[G]In a [C]beat-up Chevy [D]truck
[G]Her boyfriend Tommy, he's [C]laying on the [D]horn
[Em]Splashing through the [D]mud and the [C]muck

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

[G]Katy and Tommy at the [C]drive-in [D]movie
[G]Park in the very last [C]row[D]
[G]They're too busy holding [C]on to one [D]another
[Em]To give a [D]hoot about the [C]show.
(To give a damn about the show. - Christine Albert)
(To even care about the show. - Trisha Yearwood)
[G]But later on outside the [C]Tastee [D]Freeze,
[G]Tommy slips something on her[C] hand[D]

[G]He says My high school ring will [C]have to [D]do
[Em]Till I can [D]buy a wedding [C]band.

        {Chorus

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

    My d[G]addy said you wasn[C]'t worth a lick[D]
    When[G] it came to brains, you had the shor[C]t end of the stic[D]k
    But [G]he was wrong and honey you [C]are too.[D]
    Katy[G] looks at Tommy, the way I st[C]ill look at you[D].
    She's in [G]love with the boy[C]. [D]
    She's in [G]Glove with the bo[C]y.[D]
    She's in [G]love with the boy[C]. [D]
    And [Am]what was meant to be will alwa[C]ys find a way [D]
    She's gonna [C]marry that [D]boy some[G]day.

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