Betty came by on her way
Ab
Said she had a word to say
C
About things today
And fallen leaves
Cm Bbm
Said she hadn't heard the news
Ab
Hadn't had the time to choose
C
A way to lose
But she believes
Cm Bbm
Going to see the river man
Ab
Going to tell him all I can
C
About the plan
For lilac time
Cm Bbm
If he tells me all he knows
Ab
About the way his river flows
C
And all night shows
In summertime

Betty said she prayed today
Ab
For the sky to blow away
C
Or maybe stay
She wasn't sure
Cm Bbm
For when she thought of summer rain
Ab
Calling for her mind again
C
She lost the pain
And stayed for more
Cm Bbm
Going to see the river man
Ab
Going to tell him all I can
C
About the ban
On feeling free
Cm Bbm
If he tells me all he knows
Ab
About the way his river flows
C
I don't suppose
It's meant for me
Cm
Oh how they come and go
Oh how they come and go
