Verse 1
C 
G 
C 
Oh, I have a little daughter and
my daughter's name is Kate
Dm 
D 
And she's every bit mischievous
G 
as a kitten on a skate
C 
With a bandage on her forehead
and the bruises on her knees
D 
G 
You would swear she'd fought with
C 
buccaneers upon the seven seas

Verse 2
C 
For it's up the stairs and down
the stairs and in the room and out
D 
Like a miniature tornado,
G 
she can blow the house about
C 
Take an angel with the devil in
the twinkling of her eye
And that's my Katy, little lady,
D 
G 
C 
and I love her

Verse 3
G 
C 
Oh, you might believe in miracles,
you might believe in saints
D 
But you'd never believe my Katy when
G 
she's playing with her paints
C 
For there's red upon the window
and there's green upon her face
G 
C 
In her hair, and in her eyes but on the paper,
not a trace

Verse 4
C 
When she's in her room and quiet,
and there comes a bit of calm
D 
Dm 
D 
You develop the sensation that
G 
you're sitting on a bomb
C 
Take an angel with the devil in
the twinkling of her eye
And that's my Katy, little lady,
G 
C 
and I love her

Verse 5
G 
C 
My Katy loves her games,
you know, a thirty times a week
D 
I find myself dragooned into
G 
a game of hide and seek
C 
So, I find myself in closets,
under beds I quietly creep
G 
And I wait for thirty minutes till
C 
my brain has gone to sleep

Verse 6
C 
Yes, I sit there in the closet and
it seems like half a day
Dm 
D 
Till I find a friend has come to call
G 
and Kate's gone out to play
C 
Take an angel with the devil in
the twinkling of her eye
G 
C 
That's my Katy, little lady, and I love her

Verse 7
C 
G 
C 
And you might have heard of daddies
who would dote upon their girls
D 
Who get wrapped around their fingers
G 
by the tossing of the curls
C 
Who respond to hugs and kisses till
there's nothing they wouldn't do
G 
Don't you ever believe a word if it,
C 
it simply isn't true

Verse 8
C 
For I'd only jump the moon for her,
I'd only jump the sea
Dm 
D 
For the hugs I get to give her and
G 
the kisses she gives to me
C 
Take an angel with the devil in
the twinkling of her eye
G 
C 
That's my Katy, little lady, and I love her
