[Intro]
C G F Am
Am E F Am
Am E F C
[Verse 1]
Am      E      F       Am
Call me devil, call me friend
            E         F    C
But call me blackjack hooligan
               E        F   Am
I came all the way from Aberdeen
   C     G        F     Am
To live among the go-betweens
Am      E             F       Am
 Let me tell ya ‘bout Catfish Kate
              E         F          C
In the time before when she’s just Kate
            E          F    Am
Here in the mountains, all alone
  C        G        F          Am
Before the time we called this home
[Chorus]
C            Am
 Where is my angel fallen
Fmaj7        Dm
 Down at the river bottom
G                  C     G    F
 And will she get away?
C            Am
 Where is my Blackfoot blossom
Fmaj7                Dm
 Is she just playing possum
G                  C     G    F
 Who lives another day?
[Verse 2]
Am     E           F      Am
In the valley that we all know
        E           F        C
A river bend that’s deep and slow
            E        F            Am
Where every creature drinks their fill
    C     G         F          Am
And other creatures take their kill
Am       E       F       Am
Now Kate went to catch a fish
         E        F        C
To put inside her favorite dish
           E           F      Am
A creature grabbed her by the head
    C        G      F        Am
And took her to his house instead
[Chorus]
C             Am
 Where is my angel fallen
Fmaj7        Dm
 Down at the river bottom
G                 C      G    F
 And will she get away?
C            Am
 Where is my Blackfoot blossom
Fmaj7        Dm
 Is she just playing possum
G                  C      G    F
 Who lives another day?
[Verse 3]
     Am       E       F       Am
They wrestled all the day and night
            E          F      C
The morning showed the bloody sight
         E          F       C
Kate all dressed in catfish clothes
             G       F       Am
His whiskers for her catfish robe
C        G        F
Whiskers for her robe
[Instrumental]
C     Am
F   Dm   G
C   Am   F
[Chorus]
C            Am
 Where is my angel fallen
Fmaj7        Dm
 Down at the river bottom
G                    C      G    F
 And is she there to stay?
C            Am
 Where is my Blackfoot blossom
F            Dm
 Is she just playing possum
G                   C      G    F
 Who lives another day?
[Outro]
C    C      G   G   F   F   Am
Now she’s known as catfish Kate
