C          Em          F          C 
I hear the cottonwoods whispering above 
 
Em     Am     Dm         G7 
Tammy  Tammy  Tammy's in love 
 
    C         Em        F           C 
The ole hooty owl hooty hoos to the dove 
 
Em     F      G7         C 
Tammy  Tammy  Tammy's my love 
 
  
                   F  
Does my lover feel what I feel 
 
D7            G7 
When he comes near  
 
   E7             Am    F 
My heart beats so joy-fully 
 
      C          Em  Am     G7 
You'd think that he  could  hear 
 
  
     C         Em 
Wish I knew if he knew 
 
F                 C 
What I'm dreamin' of 
 
Am     Em     G7         C 
Tammy  Tammy  Tammy's in love
