G D Bm
Katie's gone to California
G D Am
She read there's something in the air
G D Bm
She's got her pockets full of Dixie
Am C G
She just might make it halfway there
G D Bm
Katie's gone to California
G D Am
To see the ocean fine and red
G D Bm
She's as fragile as begonias
Am C G
Katie's gone to California
Am C G
I think he might be going there
D Em
Didn't speak his mind the way he wanted
C G
He told me time was running out
D Em
Oh he said that he had called her
C D
You know we all had our doubts
D Em
I heard her family didn't like him
C G
Well it's only chance they ever met
D Em
Her daddy said he talked like Nixon
C D
Now there's a line I can't forget
G D Bm
Katie's gone to California
G D Am
She thinks she's got the Do Re Mi
G D Bm
Got her pockets full of Dixie
Am C G
She just might make it to Moline
D Em
I should've known first time I saw her
C G
Their introduction I regret
D Em
We all worried he was lonesome
C D
Don't blame yourself for how things went
D Em
We all watched them on their first date
C G
They never even knew that we were there
D Em
This is a one show town, honey
C D
We just couldn't help but stare
G D Bm
Katie's gone to California
G D Am
To see the ocean fine and red
G D Bm
She's as fragile as begonias
Am C G
Katie's gone to California
Am C G
I think he might be going there

D Em
There's Olly walking through the doorway
C G
Flag him over, let's talk to him
D Em
I hope he's doing fine for love sake
C D
He'll pass her by on highway ten
D Em
Sometimes friends with good intentions
C G
Can drive a good man to his end
D Em
These aren't the first dreams ever wasted
C G
We just wish it wasn't him
G D Bm
Katie's gone to California
