Emily Harper Cifras

[Intro]
D  A  G  A  D  A   G G
 
[Verse 1]
 
D
Emily sat right next to me
 
Five days a week in the same bus seat
G                  A
For a girl she was pretty cool
            D
She wore an old ball cap, hated lace
 
Played a mean shortstop and second base
      G               A
Never missed a day of Sunday school
      Em
And I never told a soul back then
    G                A
But Emily Harper was my best friend
 
[Chorus 1]
 
   D          A           G        A
We carved our names on an old oak limb
       D           A              G       A
On the bank of the creek where we used to swim
  D        A         G               A
A farmer's son and a preacher's only daughter
   D       A                G      A
We ran barefoot through the garden gate
    D    A         G         A
All afternoon we'd laugh and play
         D        A       G            D
'Til the sun went down on me and Emily Harper
 
[Verse 2]
 
 D
About the time I turned sixteen
 
I noticed Emily's eyes were green
G                          A
And how they shined when I made her laugh
D
I liked it when her hair was down
 
I hated other guys around
G                       A
I played it cool but I had it bad
Em
Lord, her Daddy had a fit
        G                  A
When he caught me stealing my first kiss
 
[Chorus 2]
 
   D         A           G        A
We carved a heart on an old oak limb
       D           A              G       A
On the bank of the creek where we used to swim
  D        A         G               A
A farmer's son and a preacher's only daughter
   D              A          G      A
We used to sneak off in my daddy's car
   D         A        G        A
Sit on the hood and count the stars
         D        A     G            D
'Til the sun came up on me and Emily Harper
 
 
[Bridge]
 
G            A               Bm
It all seems just like yesterday
G                                A
We grew up but some things never change
 
[Chorus 3]
 
   D         A           G        A
We still hold hands by that old oak limb
       D           A               G        A
On the bank of the creek where we used to swim
  D        A         G               A
A farmer's son and a preacher's only daughter
   D           A      G      A
She sure did make a lovely bride
   D           A      G      A
We vowed to grow old side by side
         D         A      G            D        G
'Til the sun goes down on me and Emily Harper
       D
Emily Harper
G       A      D
Me and Emily Harper
 
[Outro]
