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.

                     C5     D5                 G5
It can happen any mo ment, without reason or rhyme.
                             C5 D5                       G5 
It might be right around the, or it'll come up from be hind.
                 C5 
A picture that I thought would fade,
D5                    G5    D5 E5 C5 G5 
 but I still clearly see
                    C5   D5               G5 
When the thought of you catches up with me. 
                   C5             D5                      G5
It can happen on a Sunday drive, sky above the shade of blue.
                           C5        D5                  G5 
Headin' down some lonesome highway, then you come into view.
           C5 
Mile after mile goes by
D5                 G5    D5 E5 C5 G5 
 But you're all I see
                    C5   D5               G5   
When the thought of you catches up with me. 
C5                    D5            G5
 When the thought of you comes to mind,
      E5         A5                        D5 
It'll carry me a way to a better place in time. 
                     C5              D5                 G5
It can happen in the dead of night, or any day of the week.
                      C5        D5                 G5 
Sometimes you'll come find me, when I'm in bed a sleep.
                   C5 
And I'll have that dream about you
D5                       G5    D5 E5 C5 G5 
 And I sure love what I see  
                    C5   D5               G5 
When the thought of you catches up with me.
                    C5   D5               G5 
When the thought of you catches up with me
                    C5   D5                    G5 
When the thought of you cathces up..... with me.
