[Verse 1]
F#
On April the eighth, year Forty nine,
D#m F#
Death claimed a little girl so pure and so kind;
Kathy, they called her, met her doom that day,
C# D#m
I know it was God that called her away.
[Verse 2]
F# C# F#
Well, playmates with Kathy were all having fun,
The story it goes they all started to run,
When they looked back, she wasn't there;
D#m
It's so hard to think of this tragic affair.
[Verse 3]
F# C# F#
The people they gathered from far and from near,
B F#
The workmen they struggled in sadness and fear;
But after two days their hopes grew so weak
D#
They called down to Kathy, but she never did speak.
[Verse 4]
F# C# F#
After working so hard, both day and night
Digging for hours, she came into sight;
Little darling was dead, her life it was gone;

Now in San Marino there's a heart broken home.
[Verse 5]
C# F#
I know she's an angel in God's sweet abode,
Playing with children in a mansion of gold.
As I stand alone, so humbly I vow,
D#m F# D# F#
I know Kathy's happy up there with God now.
