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