[E] [A]
Aunt Betty was a sweetie, [E] God bless her [A] soul, Well over ninety, that's not [E] very old,
[D] For a spunky lady with a will to [A] survive, [F#m]
It [A] might be just in my mind, [E] but she's still [A] alive.
Now she lived in a one bedroom [E] house on [A] a hill, Just a quarter of a mile from my dad's [E] sawmill,
Where [D] she gathered scrap wood for the old Franklin [A] stove,
[F#m]
And [A] every day she walked [E] to and from [A] Butcher's Cove,
Many times she walked through [E] our village [A] each day,
When she heard town gossip she had nothing [E] to say,
There [D] was a church in her front yard and the Feltham's [A] next door,
[F#m]
[A] And she did all her shopping [E] at John [A] Noble's store.

[D] For a spunky lady with a will to [A] survive, [F#m]
It [A] might be just in my mind, [E] but she's still [A] alive.
Now the axe and the box saw [E] she was like [A] a pro, To cut the firewood and keep out [E] the cold,
She [D] was ready for winter by [C#] late in [A] the fall,
[F#m] There [A] was a picture of Joey [E] on her [A] kitchen wall,
Now some man named Jack [E] came around [A] one time,
Now for the rest of her life he stayed on [E] her mind,
[D] But she lived all alone long before I [A] was born,
[F#m]
[A] I thought she'd be alive [E] when we're all dead [A] and gone,
[E]
[A]
There's a one bedroom house [E] empty [A] in Dover,
And her living alone, days are [E] all over,
[D] She was with us for a century and a month [A] or [F#m] so,
[A] Aunt Betty was a sweetie, [E] God bless [A] her soul,
Aunt Betty was a sweetie, [E] God bless [A] her soul,
Well over ninety, that's not [E] very old,
