_ _ [F] Emily sat right next to me, five days a week in the same bus seat.
[Bb] For a girl, _ _ _ [C] she was pretty cool. _ _
She [F] wore an old ball cap, _ hated lace, hated mean short stop and 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 our names [Bb] on an old [F] old 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 [C] only daughter.
[Bb] _ _ [Am] _ We _ [F] ran [C] barefoot [Bb] through the [C] garden gate.
[F] All _
[C] afternoon [Gm] we laughed [C] and played, [F] till the sun went down [Bb] on me and [F] Emily Harper.
