           G              D   G          D/F# 
Well I was working on the KCS Rail Line 
Em                          D 
Katie was the girl down the street 
       G             D            Em        C 
Well I took her to a dance on the Fourth of July 
G                D                 G 
Hopin' she might fall in love with me 
         G            D                G     D/F# 
Well the band started playing right at nine 
Em                         D 
Firecrackers popped in the sky 
   G             D 
We danced and we danced 
Em                 C 
Lord I never had a chance 
      G             D      G 
I got canned on the 5th of July 


       D              G 
And we laughed at the moonlight 
D/F# Em                       D 
Said goodbye in the grey light of dawn 
        G          D               Em             C 
Yes the girl of my dreams each and every night it seems 
       G          D          G 
Is the one that I hold in my arms

Jenny was the girl at the bar 
       G          D        Em          C 
Well I sang every song for her and her alone 
    G                     D        G 
And kissed her 'neath the Colorado stars 

       D              G

verse 3: 
G                D                    G       D/F# 
Seasons come and change just like the leaves 
Em                         D 
Red oaks in the Kai Nation wind 
          G                D 
Well they scatter and they fall 
           Em             C 
Where they land I can't recall 
       G            D       G 
Will I ever find my darlin' again

Red oaks in the Kai Nation wind

Well they scatter and they fall
