Catfish Kate

Tom : Am
  C  E   F  Am
E F C (2x)

[Verse 1]
Am E F C
Call me devil, call me friend
Am E F C
But call me blackjack hooligan
Am E F C
I came all the way from Aberdeen
C C E E F F Am
To live among the go-betweens
Am E F C
Let me tell ya ‘bout Catfish Kate
Am E F C
In the time before when she’s just Kate
Am E F C
Here in the mountains, all alone
C C E E F F Am
Before the time we called this home

[Chorus]
C Am
Where is my angel fallen
F Dm
Down at the river bottom
G C Am F
And will she get away?
C Am
Where is my Blackfoot blossom
F Dm
Is she just playing possum
G C Am F
Who lives another day?

[Verse 2]
Am E F C
In the valley that we all know
Am E F C
A river bend that’s deep and slow
Am E F C
Where every creature drinks their fill
C C E E F F Am
And other creatures take their kill
Am E F C
Now Kate went to catch a fish
Am E F C
To put inside her favorite dish
Am E F C
A creature grabbed her by the head
C C E E F F Am
And took her to his house instead

[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Am E F C
They wrestled all the day and night
Am E F C
The morning showed the bloody sight
Am E F C
Kate all dressed in catfish clothes
C E F Am
His whiskers for her catfish robe
C E F
Whiskers for her robe

[Instrumental]
C   Am   F   Dm   G   C   Am   F

[Chorus]
C Am
Where is my angel fallen
F Dm
Down at the river bottom
G C Am F
And is she there to stay?

[Outro]
C C E E F F Am
Now she’s known as catfish Kate
