[Intro] C G F Am Am E F Am Am E F C [Verse 1]

Am      E      F       Am
Call me devil, call me friend

            E         F    C
But call me blackjack hooligan

               E        F   Am
I came all the way from Aberdeen

   C     G        F     Am
To live among the go-betweens

Am      E             F       Am
 Let me tell ya ‘bout Catfish Kate

              E         F          C
In the time before when she’s just Kate

            E          F    Am
Here in the mountains, all alone

  C        G        F          Am
Before the time we called this home

[Chorus]

C            Am
 Where is my angel fallen

Fmaj7        Dm
 Down at the river bottom

G                  C     G    F
 And will she get away?

C            Am
 Where is my Blackfoot blossom

Fmaj7                Dm
 Is she just playing possum

G                  C     G    F
 Who lives another day?

[Verse 2]

Am     E           F      Am
In the valley that we all know

        E           F        C
A river bend that’s deep and slow

            E        F            Am
Where every creature drinks their fill

    C     G         F          Am
And other creatures take their kill

Am       E       F       Am
Now Kate went to catch a fish

         E        F        C
To put inside her favorite dish

           E           F      Am
A creature grabbed her by the head

    C        G      F        Am
And took her to his house instead

[Chorus]

C             Am
 Where is my angel fallen

Fmaj7        Dm
 Down at the river bottom

G                 C      G    F
 And will she get away?

C            Am
 Where is my Blackfoot blossom

Fmaj7        Dm
 Is she just playing possum

G                  C      G    F
 Who lives another day?

[Verse 3]

     Am       E       F       Am
They wrestled all the day and night

            E          F      C
The morning showed the bloody sight

         E          F       C
Kate all dressed in catfish clothes

             G       F       Am
His whiskers for her catfish robe

C        G        F
Whiskers for her robe

[Instrumental] C Am F Dm G C Am F [Chorus]

C            Am
 Where is my angel fallen

Fmaj7        Dm
 Down at the river bottom

G                    C      G    F
 And is she there to stay?

C            Am
 Where is my Blackfoot blossom

F            Dm
 Is she just playing possum

G                   C      G    F
 Who lives another day?

[Outro]
