Introduction:
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
G A Bm
It all seems just like yesterday
G A
We grew up but some things never change
We still hold hands by that old oak limb
