[Verse I-a]
    C              F                Am                       G
Hey Kathy, can you hear me? How you doing? I could use you tonight.
    C              F                  Am                             G
Hey Kathy, are you listening? I gotta question, and you were usually right.
 
[Verse I-b]
               Em           F          C                   G
You told me to go to Susequahanna, and it changed my whole life.
                Em             F                     C                  G
You said not to rush home in a snowstorm, and we got stuck there on the drive.
            Am         G
You came to rescue me.
             F
You’d always rescue me.
 
 
[Verse II-a]
    C                  F                    Am                      G
Hey Kathy, I started a garden, but I wasn’t blessed with your green thumb.
             C                  F                Am                   G
So, there on my skin, I planted roses, I planted hyacinths, I planted mums
 
[Verse II-b]
      Em         F                        C          G
and a bouquet of hydrangeas ‘cause they remind me of you,
    Em            F               C               G
and one single sunflower like the ones you always grew,
      Am                   G
and a lilly for my sister.
        F
Ma, she misses you.
 
 
[Verse III-a]
    C                   F                     Am                    G
Hey Kathy, when we were children, you made us feel like we were the sun.
        C                        F                  Am                     G
I never knew that we didn’t have money. You kept us learning and we didn’t want.
 
[Verse III-b]
         Em         F            C              G
You took us to Tuscarora; we had picnics on the beach.
         Em             F                     C             G
Sewed us all of our own costumes; we were the kings of Halloween.
          Am                 G
You drove Ian down to Philly
           F
to witness Springsteen.
 
 
[Verse IV-a]
    C                            F                     Am                             G
Hey Kathy, when I think that I’m crumbling, I stand up straighter ‘cause you built me strong.
              C                         F                                      Am
You taught us empathy. You taught us to take care of each other. You taught us selflessness.
              G
You taught us love.
 
[Verse IV-b]
         Em             F             Am                G
So we’ll light bayberry candles every year on Christmas Eve,
             Em              F                      Am           G
and we’ll be home for Sunday dinner; we’ll cook all your old recipes.
      Am                  G
We’ll keep moving forward.
                        F
That’s what you’d wanna see.
    C (let ring)
Hey Kathy...
