Intro:

D

Verse 1:

           D                          Dmaj7
She plays 'Wipeout' on the drums, the squirrels and the birds come,
Em
 Gather round to sing the guitar.
   Gmaj7                      D
Oh I, have you got nothing to say?

Verse 2:

         D                          Dmaj7
When all words fail she speaks, her mix-tape's a masterpiece,
Em
 Walks through the garden, so the roses can see,
   Gmaj7                      D
Oh I, have you got nothing to say?

Chorus 1:

            F#m7     F7             Em7
And you can see, the daisies in her footsteps.
      G6            Em7b5              D
Dande-lions, butter-flies, I wanna be; Kate, Kate, Kate, Kate.

Verse 3:

      D                               Dmaj7
Every-day she wears the same thing, I think she smokes pot,
      Em
She's everything I want, she's everything I'm not.
   Gmaj7                      D
Oh I, have you got nothing to say?

Chorus 2:

               F#m7     F7                Em7
She never gets wet, she smiles and it's a rainbow.
        G6             Em7b5                D
And she speaks and she breathes; I wanna be Kate, Kate, Kate, Kate.

Middle 8:

Am7          Gmaj7                 Gm7                        Fmaj7
 Down by the Rosemary and Cameron, she hands out The Bhagavad Gita.
Fm7                     Bb7
 I see her around every couple days,
Em7                  Em7b5          D    Gm
 I wanna meet her so I can say; hey Kate!

D  Dmaj7  Em7, Gmaj7  D

D              Dmaj7         Em7
 Ooh la la la, ooh la la la, ooh la la la, la.
Gmaj7            Gm                 D
 Doo doo doo doo, doo doo, doo, doo.

Chorus 3:

               F#m7     F7                Em7
She never gets wet, she smiles and it's a rainbow.
        G6            Em7b5
You can see, I wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna be...
