1.   It started way back in third grade,

D                 A                G

    I used to sit beside Emmie Lou Hayes,

        D                     A                              G

    a pink dress, a matching bow, and a pony tail,

            G                                                  A

    she kissed me on the school bus, but told me not to tell.

 

    D                      A                                G

2.    Next day I chased her around the playground,

D                      A                             G

    across the monkey bars to the merry go round,

D                       A                     G

    and Emmie Lou got caught passing a note,

         G                                      A

    before the teacher took it, I read what she wrote:

 

              D                          Bm                   G                          A

Do you love me ? Do you want to be my friend ? And if you do,

          D                        Bm                    G                 A

then don't be afraid to take me by the hand, if you want to.

     G                               A                           D

I think this is how love goes, check yes or no !

3.     Now we're grown up and she's my wife,

      D                A             G

    still like two kids with stars in our eyes.

D                       A                     G

    Ain't much changed, I still chase Emmie Lou,

     G                                                         A

    up and down the hall, and round the bed in our room.

 

   D                      A                          G

4.    Last night I took her out in a white limousine,

D                            A                      G

    twenty years together and she still gets to me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

D                A                          G

    Can't believe it's been that long ago,

              G                            A

    when we got started with just a little note.
