Katy Jane  Ronnie Charles
by Bundyboy
[Intro]
FListen  very  cCarefully,   while I sFing,  a sad refAmrain 
there's a Flesson,    for the lCiving
in times Ftale,  of Katy CJane 
[Verse]
A Fdoctor, a lCawyer,    a sAmoldier mFan
Gmcourted the Fsweet, Katy JCane 
she Fbundled their Chearts, then Amaway  she rFan
Gmeach and every Fone's, never sCince, felt the Fsame
as a Gmsweet wine could Fstay, so could Gsweet, Katy CJane 
[Chorus]
so take Fcare,   you  sleepy reaCpers
that in Fkind you do reAmpay 
if the Fscale of life don't Cbalance now,
 it Fwill,   one Cday 
[Verse]
a Ftinker, a Cthief,   and a Amtaylor  mCan 
Gmopened up their Fhearts to Katy CJane
she Ftold gentle Clies, only Amsome voices Fcan
Gmwhen they were Fwon, in the Cend of the Fgame
Gmlike a rook on the Fwing, was the Gsweet Katy CJane
[Verse]
Fa rich man,  a Cpoor man,  a Ambeggar mFan
Gmhungered for the Flove of Katey CJane
she Ffed them Cfat, then Amaway she Fran
Gmnow, she is Fold, tired Clonely and Flame
father Gmtime courts her Fnow, pay your Gdues Katy CJane
