[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
