Intro:
Humming
Chorus:
I would catch you
In a field of rye
Underneath
The very deep blue sky
Verse I
I travelled to New York away from
Everybody in my life
Pencey wasn’t nice to me
And I don’t like them either
Chorus:
I will catch you
In a field of rye
Underneath
The very deep blue sky
Verse 2
I stayed in a hotel
And Sunny, well, she took my dollars!
And Sally wasn’t nice to me,
And I don’t like her either.
Chorus
I will catch her
In a field of rye
Underneath
The very deep, blue sky
Bridge:
Phoebe,
Kept on going round and round
The carousel
Seeing my sweet sister just makes me so goddamn happy…
Verse 3
…In her very, very light blue coat
It’s funny how I somehow
started missing everybody
Though they weren’t nice to me
And I don’t like them either
Chorus
I will catch them in a field of rye
Underneath the very deep blue sky
Coda:
Catch her, catch her
Catch her in the rye
Catch her, catch her
Catch her in the rye
Hmmm…
