Daylight Katy    (intro)

 

    C - A   (4x)

 

             C                                          A

1. She walks by the sea where the seaworld is,

                    C                             A

    and she waits for the man to come.

            C                                A

    She lives in town with her high-heeled friends,

                     C                               A

    and she knows it's a long way down.

                  Bm                     E                   A

    But she doesn't have to get up in the morning,

                  Bm                    D        - E

    with her hair so soft and long.

 

  A                            D     A                            D

Daylight Katy come on, Daylight Katy come on,

     A                             D        A            E          A        - E

if you can't follow me down, Daylight Katy go home.

if you can't follow me down, Daylight Katy go home. 

 

              C                                         A

2. She walks to the sea where the seaweed is,

                      C                                 A

    where the rust and the dirt runs deep.

            C                                 A

    She lives nine lives in her midnight world,

                     C                         A

    while her old man's fast asleep.

                   Bm                     E                   A

    And she doesn't have to get up in the morning,

                  Bm                    D        - E

    with her hair so soft and long.

3. She lives by the sea when the summer wind comes,

                  C                         A

    and the sea don't mind at all.

            C                                       A

    She talks to the sea when the sea runs wild,

                   C                               A

    and the waves run steep and tall.

                   Bm                     E                   A

    And she doesn't have to get up in the morning,

    with her hair so soft and long.

     A                             D        A            E          A        - E

if you can't follow me down, Daylight Katy go home.
