Emily Harper - Mark Wills

Emily Harper chords

Capo 3 
 
D               G 
Emily sat right next to me 
     D                  G 
Five days a week in the same bus seat 
G                  A 
For a girl she was pretty cool 
            D             G  
She wore an old ball cap, hated lace 
         D                  G 
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 
 
          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      
 
 
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            A               Bm 
It all seems just like yesterday 
G                                A  
We grew up but some things never 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
