  			Well her name was Katarina long and lean and seventeen 
G 
She was nine years older than I was 
                                 D 
I Was the love sick smiling fool 
C                            D 
As I watched her by the pool 
G                        Em 
Cause she was better than anything I'd seen at school 
                 C             D                  G 

Well she didn't seem to mind, that I followed her behind 
G 
And she'd sometimes turn around to me and wink 
                                            D 
And I just about dropped dead, as the blood rushed to my head 
       C                   D            G                 Em 
She'd make my day without a word being said 
               C              D         G 

Chorus: 

She was wild as the wind 
          D 
That blew through her hair 
      G 
And as sweet as the purfume 
         D 
That she left in the air 
           G 
I knew she couldn't love me 
D 
But I really didn't care 
        Am 
Just as long as I could follow her and stare 
          C                D             G 

Well of course she had a friend 
A six foot ten offensive end 
And the sight of her with him brought me to tears 
Katarina, Can't you wait, you know I'm only eight 
But I'll be driving in just eight Short years 

Chorus 

D  G  D  G  D  Am  C  D  G 

Chorus 

after the stare word he throws in a Em 

Just as long has I can follow her and stare 
C                        D              G    Em 

Just as long as I can follow her and stare 
C                        D             G
