G             D           C
   It started way back in third grade
G            D               C
   I used to sit beside Emmy Lou Hays
  G             D                  C
A pink dress, a matching bow and a pony tail
    Am                              D
She kissed me on the school bus but told me not to tell
G          D                     C
Next day I chased her around the playground
G          D                  C
Across the monkey bars to the merry go round
G        D              C
    Emmy Lou got caught passing me a note
  Am                         D
Before the teacher took it I read what she wrote

       G              Em            C                 
Do you love me do you want to be my friend and if you 
D
do
          G                  Em             C          
Well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand if you
 D
 want to
  C                      D
I think this is how love goes check yes or no

G        D            C
Now were grown up and she's my wife
G              D         C
Still like two kids with stars in our eyes
G          D               C
Ain't much changed I still chase Emmy Lou
Am                               D
Up and down the halls around the bed in our room
G            D                 C
Last night I took her out in a white limousine
G              D               C
Twenty years together and she still gets to me
G         D                   C
I can't believe its been that long ago
Am                       D
When we got started with just a little note

[Refrão]

       G              Em            C                 
Do you love me do you want to be my friend and if you 
D
do
          G                  Em             C          
Well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand if you
 D
 want to
C                        D
I think this is how love goes check yes or no
