          HARLEY
         KATHY MATTEA

INTRO: C majorC G+G  C majorC G+G

VERSE:
 C majorC     G+G     C majorC      FF
There was a motorcycle mama and her man
 F minorFm        C majorC     G+G   A minorAm G+G
With a wind-burnt tan and a Harley
 C majorC       G+G      C7C7       FF
Roarin' through Bakersfield when her water broke
   DmDm      G+G      D MajorD      G+G
They pulled into a hospital and for a little joke

 FF  E minorEm    DmDm   G+G
They named him Harley
   A minorAm
They bought a sidecar
 E minorEm   D MajorD   Dm7Dm7  G+G
And a small bandanna band
   FF  E minorEm  DmDm  G+G C majorC  E minorEm C majorC G+G
And they loved their Harley

VERSE:
 C majorC        G+G
Slidin' sideways, up the coast
 C majorC        FF
Cruisin' highway one
   F minorFm       C majorC
The sidecar came undone
    G+G   A minorAm G+G G7G7
No one noticed

 C majorC         G+G
Thrashing through a golden meadow
  C majorC          FF
It came to rest right where
  DmDm
A augmentedA farmer's wife cried
 G+G        Dm7Dm7        G+G
"Jesus Christ has answered all our prayers"

   FF  E minorEm    DmDm  C majorC G7G7
And they named him Harley
 A minorAm       E minorEm
Because of a tattoo
    D MajorD     Dm7Dm7    G+G E minorEm
That claimed his name was tru-ue

   FF  E minorEm  DmDm  G+G C majorC
And they loved their Harley

BREAK:
    FF          E minorEm
He was raised upon a farm, cradled in the arms
  DmDm     C majorC
Of Beulah and Barney
     FF         E minorEm
But then at a restless age they unlocked his cage
  DmDm      E minor 7Em7
And he became a carney


  G7G7 G+G  G+G    F#F# G+G

E MajorE --7-6-5-6-5-6-----------

VERSE:
 C majorC      G+G     C majorC      FF
There was a motorcycle daredevil deluxe
 F minorFm       C majorC       G+G     A minorAm G+G
Jumping fifty trucks at the fairgrounds
  C majorC      G+G      C7C7       FF
A augmentedA middle aged hippie couple way up in the stands
 DmDm        G+G
Heard the crowd chanting 'loud,
  Dm7Dm7         G+G
The name of this young man

   FF  E minorEm     DmDm  A minorAm G7G7
And they called him Harley
     A minorAm      E minorEm
And that hippie couple smiled
      DmDm    Dm7Dm7    G+G
Could this be their long lost child?
    FF  A augmentedA D7D7   G+G E minor 7Em7
And So they met Harley
  A minorAm        E minorEm
Convinced him of the news
   E MajorE        A7A7
When they compared tattoos
  DmDm E minorEm FF F#F# G+G A minorAm BbmBbm G+G  C majorC  G+G C majorC  G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
And th-ey loved their Har-ar-ley
