Subject: When the thought of you catches up with me- David Ball

I transposed this song because of a special girl in my life who I'm
reminded of every time I hear it.  Wherever she may be right now, you
can be sure I'm thinking of her.

When the thought of you catches up with me
By:  David Ball

Key of G

Intro: (play around a G chord that looks like this:) ___________

Headin' down some lonesome [C] highway, [D] then you come into [G] view.
Mile after [C] mile goes by
[D] But you're all I [G] see  D  Em  C  G  
When the thought of [C] you [D] catches up with [G] me.

[C] When the thought of [D] you comes to [G] mind,
It'll [Em] carry me a [A] way to a better place in [D] time.

Sometimes you'll come [C] find me, [D] when I'm in bed a [G] sleep.
And I'll have that [C] dream about you
[D] And I sure love what I [G] see  D  Em  C  G
When the thought of [C] you [D] catches up with [G] me.
When the thought of [C] you [D] catches up with [G] me
When the thought of [C] you [D] cathces up..... with [G] me.
