          HARLEY
         KATHY MATTEA

INTRO: C G  C G

VERSE:
 C     G     C      F
There was a motorcycle mama and her man
 Fm        C     G   Am G
With a wind-burnt tan and a Harley
 C       G      C7       F
Roarin' through Bakersfield when her water broke
   Dm      G      D      G
They pulled into a hospital and for a little joke
🎸

 F  Em    Dm   G
They named him Harley
   Am
They bought a sidecar
 Em   D   Dm7  G
And a small bandanna band
   F  Em  Dm  G C  Em C G
And they loved their Harley


VERSE:
 C        G
Slidin' sideways, up the coast
 C        F
Cruisin' highway one
   Fm       C
The sidecar came undone
    G   Am G G7
No one noticed

 C         G
Thrashing through a golden meadow
  C          F
It came to rest right where
  Dm
A farmer's wife cried
 G        Dm7        G
"Jesus Christ has answered all our prayers"

   F  Em    Dm  C G7
And they named him Harley
 Am       Em
Because of a tattoo
    D     Dm7    G Em
That claimed his name was tru-ue

   F  Em  Dm  G C
And they loved their Harley


BREAK:
    F          Em
He was raised upon a farm, cradled in the arms
  Dm     C
Of Beulah and Barney
     F         Em
But then at a restless age they unlocked his cage
  Dm      Em7
And he became a carney

VERSE:
 C      G     C      F
There was a motorcycle daredevil deluxe
 Fm       C       G     Am G
Jumping fifty trucks at the fairgrounds
  C      G      C7       F
A middle aged hippie couple way up in the stands
 Dm        G
Heard the crowd chanting 'loud,
  Dm7         G
The name of this young man

   F  Em     Dm  Am G7
And they called him Harley
     Am      Em
And that hippie couple smiled
      Dm    Dm7    G
Could this be their long lost child?
    F  A D7   G Em7
And So they met Harley
  Am        Em
Convinced him of the news
   E        A7
When they compared tattoos
  Dm Em F F# G Am Bbm G  C  G C  G C G C
And th-ey loved their Har-ar-ley
