*CAPO 3rd FRET*
(Original Key: )
Intro:
Verse 1:
She plays 'Wipeout' on the drums,
The squirrels and the birds come,
Gather round to sing the guitar.
Oh I, have you got nothing to say?
Verse 2:
When all words fail she speaks,
Her mix tapes a masterpiece,
Walks through the garden,
So the roses can see,
Oh I, have you got nothing to say?
Chorus 1:
And you can see,
The daisies in her footsteps.
Dande-lions, butter-flies, I wanna be:
Kate, Kate, Kate, Kate.
Verse 3:
Every-day she wears the same thing,
I think she smokes pot,
She's everything I want,
she's everything I'm not.
Oh I, have you got nothing to say?
Chorus 1:
She never gets wet,
She smiles and it's a rainbow,
And she speaks and she breathes,
I wanna be Kate.
Middle 8:
Down by the Rosemary and Cameron,
She hands out The Bhagavad Gita.
I see her around every couple days,
I wanna meet her so I can say;
Hey Kate.
Interlude:
Ooh la la la, ooh la la la,
Ooh la la la, la.
Ooh la la la, ooh la la la,
Ooh la la la, la.
Chorus 2:
She never gets wet,
She smiles and it's a rainbow,
You can see,
I wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna be...
Coda:
Kate, Kate, Kate,
Na na,
Kate, Kate, Kate, Kate,
Na na na na na na.
