D             B7
She's my only true love
Em               A*
She's all that I think of
     F#m         B7
Look here in my wallet
        Em       A**
That's her

D                 B7    
She grew up on a farm there
Em                    A*        
There's a place on my arm 
          F#m          B7
Where I've written her name 
        Em       A**
next to mine

E7
You see I just can't 
D        G
Live without her
    F#           Bm     D7
And I'm her only boy
E7                 D        G  
And she grew up outside McHenry
   D          A   D     
In Johnsburg, Illinois
