D (freely)
She's my only true love
She's all that I think of
Look here in my wallet
That's her
She grew up on a farm there
There's a place on my arm
Where I've written her name
Next to mine

You see I just
Can't live without her
And I'm her only boy

And she grew up outside McHen - ry
In Johnsburg, Illinois
(the bass plays the note "a" throughout the outro
and the piano uses a lot of weird notes in the chords)
