_ _ _ Betty came by on her way, _ [Am] _ _ said she had a word to say, [G] _ _ about things today.
_ [F#] _ _ Before she leaves, _ _ _ _ said she hadn't heard the news, _ [Am] _ _ hadn't had the time to choose,
[G] _ _ _ a way to _ lose, [F#] _ _ she _ believes.
_ _ _ Gonna see the river [B] man, _
_ _ _ [A] gonna tell him all I can,
[G] _ _ [G] _ about the plan, [F#] hmm, _ for a lifetime.
If _ _ _ he tells me all he _ [F#m] _ [A] knows, about the way his river _
[F#m] flows,
_ _ an all night show, _ [F#] _ _ _ _ summertime. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Betty said she'd pray today, [Am] _ _
for the sky to blow [F#m] away, _ _
or maybe stay, _ [F#] _ _
she wasn't sure. _ _ _ _
But when she thought of summer rain, _ [F#m] _ [Am] _
_ [A] calling for her mind [F#m] again, _ _
[G] _ she lost the pain, [F#] _ _
_ she lost. _ _ _ _
_ Gonna see the river man, [A] _ _
_ gonna tell him all I [F#m] can, _ _
[G] _ _ about the band, [F#] _ _
_ on feeling free. _ _ _ _
_ If he tells me all he _ [F#m] [Am] knows, _ _ about the way his river [F#m] _ _
flows,
_ I don't suppose, [F#] _ _
_ it's meant for me. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] Oh, _ [F#] how they come and go. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] Oh, _ _ [F#m] how they come [B] and go.
