D 
There's a girl downtown with freckles on her nose                    
                          D7 
Pencils in her pockets and ketchup on her clothes 
        G 
Shes a real nice girl, pretty as a plate 
    D 
The boys call her Katie when they ask her on a date 
    A 
And who knows Katie? 
G               A      D 
Maybe you could be the one 


There's a boy outside standin' in the rain 
His hands are in his pockets he's a wonderin' why he came 
Hes a real nice boy, slower than the fall 
The girls call him Billy if they're callin' him at all 
And who knows Billy? 
Maybe you could be the one 


    G 
But hearts don't fly, and words don't sing 
D 
Boys like you can't buy no ring 
G 
Love's not stuck, it just moves slow 
A 
Turn around a minute and away we go 


Billy walked inside, ordered up a drink 
He started gettin' nervous and a wonderin' what she'd think 
She thought he looked nice, rough around the seams 
Just the kind of boy who could listen to her dreams 
And who knows Katie? Maybe he could be the one 


Well, they stepped outside, and took a little walk 
Katie held his hand and Billy even talked 
They sat by the pond, they didn't make a sound 
The night fell easy as the moon came down 
And who knows baby? 
Maybe we could be the one 

Repeat Chorus 

There's a girl downtown with freckles on her nose 
Pencils in her pockets and ketchup on her clothes 
She's a real nice girl, pretty as a plate 
The boys call her Katie when they ask her on a date 

And who knows Katie? 
Maybe you could be the one 
Who knows Katie? 
Maybe you could be the one 
Who knows baby? 
Maybe we could be the one
