CAPO: 4th Fret
C
[INTRO:]
[VERSE 1:]
Dm7 F C
Betty Jo, you made it plain, when first you held me near
Dm7 F G
Even though you caused me pain, you were all the world to me
C D Dm C Dm7
We made love, we had such fun, many fine times went by us
C
Now it's all so hazy and a little bit crazy
D Dm C Dm7
Betty Jo, my heart's on fire, I don't need this crying
C F
The next time you see me, in the back seat of a taxi's where I'll be
[VERSE 2:]
G C
Betty called me in to say goodnight
F G C
Much to my relief and pure delight
C7
I think that was my big love scene
F G C F
I do believe her engine run alright
[VERSE 3:]

Betty said get ready the time has come
F G C
I was young and my good life had begun
C7 F
And with the dawn the child in me was gone
G C F G F
Betty made a man out of me that night
[VERSE 4:]
G C
Betty made my clothes and sewed my jeans
F G C
Listening to my songs and foolish schemes
C7
I think the way she got to me
F G C F G
It would seem like a laser beam right to the soul
[VERSE 5:]
F G C
Betty my true love, do what you do tonight
F G C
Where she goes I hope she knows she's right
C7
The worst of times and the best of times
F G C
She was never the kind to kick and bitch and fight
F G C F G F
[INTERLUDE:]

Much to my relief and pure delight

And with the dawn the child in me was gone
