Mark Wills - Emily Harper guitar chord

Emily Harper

By Mark Wills

Capo 3

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

Chorus:

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

I noticed Emily's eyes were green

And how they shined when I made her laugh

I liked it when her hair was down

I hated other guys around

I played it cool but I had it bad

Lord, her Daddy had a fit

When he caught me stealing my first kiss

Chorus 2:

We carved a heart on that old oak limb

On the bank of the creek where we used to swim

A farmer's son and a preacher's only daughter

We used to sneak off in my daddy's car

Sit on the hood and count the stars

'Til the sun came up on me and Emily Harper

Bridge:

G A Bm

It all seems just like yesterday

G A

We grew up but some things never change

Chorus 3:

We still hold hands by that old oak limb

On the bank of the creek where we used to swim

A farmer's son and a preacher's only daughter

She sure did make a lovely bride

We vowed to grow old side by side

'Til the sun goes down on me and Emily Harper

Emily Harper

Me and Emily Harper
