After searching constant hours for the beautifully written song, I decided to make my own. 
I believe this is how he plays it. Please do let me know if you like it! This is played 
in STANDARD TUNING with NO CAPO. 

Gadd9 Dsus4 Cadd9

 Gadd9 (135211@3)       Dsus4 (xx0233@1)Cadd9 (x32030@1)   Katie was a looker,     the finest thing I'd ever seen.
Gadd9 (135211@3)                Dsus4 (xx0233@1)      Cadd9 (x32030@1) I got the courage, to ask her out        when I turned eighteen.
Gadd9        Dsus4 Cadd9
  Saturday, 8'oclock    and not a minute late.
Gadd9 (135211@3)             Dsus4 (xx0233@1)            Cadd9 (x32030@1) I pulled up in my beat up truck, and we headed towards the lake.

 (Chorus 1)
            Dsus4 (xx0233@1)     Cadd9 (x32030@1)           Gadd9 (135211@3) She said,      "Boy I sure do love your smile.
       Dsus4 (xx0233@1)     Cadd9 (x32030@1)              Gadd9 (135211@3) And I hope we can stay here for awhile.

         Am (x02210@1)       Dsus4 (xx0233@1)        Gadd9 (135211@3)I'd end up with a country boy like you."
Gadd9 (135211@3)      Dsus4 (xx0233@1)           Cadd9 (x32030@1)A few years down the road, we both said, "I do."
Gadd9 (135211@3)            Dsus4 (xx0233@1)           Cadd9 (x32030@1)Then we left that sleepy little town     on a honeymoon cruise.
 Gadd9 (135211@3)         Dsus4 (xx0233@1) Cadd9 (x32030@1)Soaking up the sunlight,      and dancing on the beach.
 Gadd9 (135211@3)          Dsus4 (xx0233@1)       Cadd9 (x32030@1)I could feel the love she felt,      when she looked at me.

  I got a call at about 7:15,      from a hospital room.
             Dsus4 (xx0233@1)             Cadd9 (x32030@1)I heard the nurse on the other end say, 
Em7                     Dsus4 (xx0233@1)       Cadd9"I (x32030@1)know it's hard to understand, but get here just as quick as you can. 
 Am (x02210@1)                      Dsus4(w/hammer) (xx0233@1) There's been an accident."
Gadd9 (135211@3)            Dsus4 (xx0233@1)Cadd9 (x32030@1) I'm here at her bedside,     and trying not cry.
Gadd9 (135211@3)               Dsus4 (xx0233@1)          Cadd9 (x32030@1) The doctor said, "She ain't got long,      time to say goodbye."
Gadd9 (135211@3)            Dsus4 (xx0233@1)         Cadd9 (x32030@1) Katie opened her soft green eyes,      and she looked at me.
Gadd9 (135211@3)         Dsus4 (xx0233@1)          Cadd9 (x32030@1) I moved closer by her side, and I got down on my knees.
