Katy Says Today

From: * (Adam Schneider)

[You can see from the tablature that her picking pattern can be fairly
 random in this song; just ad lib it if you get frustrated.  You're on
 your own after the first verse.]
[By the way, the words aren't exactly lined up with the tab; they're
 just there for guides.]

          Katy says, "today is the best day of my whole entire life"

                   Katy is three years old

      We've been dancing in the living room to her new Tom Paxton record

 Katy's got a lot of rhythm when she wiggles for a little kid; she's got soul

 That night when her mom and dad come home, I tell them what she said to me

 I figure they'll think I'm some kid of babysitting genius
                                    to make this little girl so darned happy

 But they smile, and they say, "don't take this the wrong way

    But Katy said the same thing yesterday

E 1---------------|3-------3-------|----------------|--------3-------|
          Lately she's been saying that every day"

C         G/B     Am7      C/G        C        G/B    Am7   C/G
  I think back to what I know was the best day of my life
       Fsus9    Fsus9  Fsus9  Fsus9   G6   G6   G   G
It was wintertime,        ten years ago
Am        Am            Em7     Em7    Fsus9   Fsus9   C   C
  We were staying in a farmhouse in the middle of Vermont
C                G/B          Am7         C/G    Fsus9    Fsus9    G   G
  The hills were covered with christmas trees and freshly fallen snow
Am            Am                Em7      Em7     Fsus9   Fsus9   C   C
  Instantly I picture the vivid details of that day
C         G/B             Am7       C/G   D7/F#            D7/F#   G   G
When you told me that you loved me more     than you could ever say
Am    Am          Em7     Em7     Fsus9    Fsus9   C   C
  The air was a bracing cold, the sky a startled blue
C       G/B     Am7  C/G     Fsus9     G        C   C   C   C
Never before or since have I felt that close to you
Fsus9           Fsus9   Fsus9    Fsus9  C        G/B      Am7   C/G
What does that say about you and me      and the past ten years
Fsus9           Fsus9          Fsus9   Fsus9              Gsus4  Gsus4  G  G
I've learned to live with your silence, you've learned to overlook my tears
Fsus9     Fsus9    Fsus9     Fsus9     C       G/B      Am7   C/G
Now this dancing three-year-old in her simple, perfect way
D7/F#    D7/F#           D7/F#    D7/F#   Gsus4        Gsus4   G   G
  Has me questioning the basis for         the life we live today
C  G/B  Am7  C/G    C  G/B  Am7  C/G

C   G/B     Am7      C/G       C         G/B    Am7   C/G
    Katy's prob'ly sleeping now, I wonder if she dreams
     C  G/B             Am7   C/G  Fsus9    Fsus9    G   G
About   flying with the angels and dancing with moonbeams
Am         Am     Em7    Em7      Fsus9   Fsus9      C   C
  You are here beside me; you are snoring right out loud
C           G/B             Am7     C/G  D7/F#       D7/F#     G   G
  I long to kiss you on the forehead and smooth your worried brow
Am   Am                 Em7    Em7          Fsus9  Fsus9    C   C
     Though we have not given up, it's been ages since we tried
   C          G/B      Am7  C/G       D7/F#       D7/F#    G   G
To reveal the aching passion that for years we've pushed aside
Am  Am             Em7     Em7       Fsus9     Fsus9    C   C
  I whisper that I love you because I know you can not hear
       C        G/B  Am7         C/G       Fsus9  G       C  G/B  Am7  C/G
I turn off the light, and in the dark, you gently pull me near
C  G/B  Am7  C/G

C  G/B            Am7            C/G      C        G/B    Am7  C/G.
   Katy says, "today is the best day of my whole entire life"
