Intro: (D) (G) (A) (Bm) (G) (A) (D) (G) (A) (D) (G) (A) 

(D) I met Emmy when we (G) started (A) school
(Bm) Used to walk her home, used to (G) break a few (A) rules
By the (D) river
A (G) river that (A) still flows (D) on (G) (A)
But (D) now I'm walking by that (G) river al(A)one
The (Bm) years have gone by and (G) Emmy's long (A) gone
But I (D) hear her
(G) Singing our (A) favorite (D) song (G) (A)

  Where can I (D) run to, (G) (A) where can I (D) go? (G) (A)
  I (D) know this heart's got to make a new start
  To (A) find somebody new
  Where can I (D) find her, (G) (A) who can I (D) call? (G) (A)
  Oh, (D) where in the world could I find one girl
  A (A) girl like EmmyLou

Emmy had a way of growing up fast
Sharing her kisses and drinking in the back
At the drive-in
Letting our innocence go
Promises made so endlessly
Who could ever guess that the angels would come and take my baby
Take my baby away

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Oh, (G) I (D) don't be(G)lieve (D) it
It (A) feels like yester(Bm)day
One (G) mom(D)ent I (G) held (D) her
And (A) then she slipped away

(GUITAR SOLO)

(REPEAT CHORUS & FADE OUT)
