_ _ [F] Emily sat right next to me, five days a week in the same bus seat, [Bb] for a girl, _ _ she [C] was pretty cool. _ _
She [F] wore an old ball cap, hated lace, made a mean short stop in second base, [Bb] never missed
a day _ _ of [C] Sunday school. _ _
_ [Gm] And I never told a soul [G] back then [Bb] that Emily Harper [C] was my best friend.
_ _ [F] We carved [C] our names [Bb] on an old [F] oak limb, on the bank [C] of the creek [Bb] where we used [C] to swim,
[F] a farmer's son and [Bb] a preacher's only [C] daughter.
[Bb] _ _ [Am] _ [Gm] We _ [F] ran [C] barefoot [Bb] through the garden [C] gate, [F] all [C] afternoon [Gm] we laughed [C] and played, [F] till the
sun went down on [Bb] me and Emily [F] Harper.

_ _ [F] _ About the time I turned sixteen, I [C] noticed [F] Emily's eyes were green, [Bb] and how they shined. _
_ [C] And I made her laugh, _ _
_ _ [F] I liked it when her hair was down, I hated other guys around,
[Bb] I played it cool, _ _ [C] but I had a fan. _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ Lord her daddy had a fan, [Bb] and he caught me stealing [C] my [G] first _ [C] kiss.
_ [F] We carved our heart [Bb] on that old oak [F] limb, on the bank [C] of the creek [Bb] where we used [C] to
swim, [F] a farmer's son and [Bb] a preacher's only [C] _
[Bb] daughter.
_ [F] _ _ [D] _ [F] We used to [C] sneak off [Bb] in my [C] daddy's car, [F] sit on [C] the hood [Bb] and count [C] the stars, [F] till the
sun came up [Bb] on me and Emily [F] Harper.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] It all [C] seems just like [Dm] yesterday, _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] we grew up but [Bb] some things [C] never _ _ change.
_ _ [F] We still [C] hold hands [Bb] by that old [C] oak limb, [F] on the bank [C] of the creek [F] where we used to
swim, a farmer's son and [Bb] a preacher's only [C] daughter.
[E] _ _ [F] _ [G] She _ [F] sure [C] did make [Bb] me love [C] me bright, [F] we vowed [C] to grow [Bb] old side by [F] side, till the sun goes
down [Bb] on me and Emily [F] _
Harper.
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _ _
[C] _ [F] Emily [C] Harper, _ [Bb] me [C] and [F] Emily [C] Harper.
