Betty came by on her way
[Eb]
[Bb] Said she had a word to
[Ab] say
About things today
[G]
Fallen leaves
Said she hadn't heard the news
[Bb] Hadn't had the time to choose
[Ab] A way to lose
[C] She believes
[G] [Cm]
Gonna see the river man
[Eb]
Gonna tell him all I can
[Ab] About the plan
[G] Of lilac time
[Cm] If he tells me all he [Eb] knows
About the way his river [Ab] flows
And all night shows
[G]
[C] Summertime
[Ab]
[D]

Betty said she'd pray today
[Eb]
For the sky to blow [Gm]
[Ab] away
Or maybe stay
[C] She wasn't sure
[G]
But when she thought of summer rain
[Eb]
Calling for her [Ab] mind again
[Ab] She lost the pen
[C] And stayed for more
[G]
Gonna see the river man
[Eb]
Gonna tell him all I [Gm] can
[Ab] About the plan
[C] Of feeling free
[G]
If he tells me all he [Eb]
knows
About the way his river [Ab] flows
I don't suppose
[C] It's meant for me
Oh, how they come and go
[Cm] Oh, how [G] they come and go
[C] [G]
