[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
Am
Betty came by on her way
Gm
Said she had a word to say
F
'Bout things today
A
And fallen leaves
[Verse 2]
Am
Said she hadn't heard the news
Gm
Hadn't had the time to choose
F
A way to lose
A
But she believes
[Chorus]
Am
Gonna see the river man
Gm
Gonna tell him all I can
F
About the plan
A
For lilac time
Am
If he tells me all he knows
Gm
'Bout the way his river flows
F
And all night shows
A
In summertime
[Verse 3]
Am
Betty said she prayed today
Gm
For the sky to blow away
F
Or maybe stay
A
She wasn't sure
[Verse 4]
Am
For when she thought of summer rain
Gm
Calling for her mind again
F
She lost the pain
A
And stayed for more
[Chorus]
Am
Gonna see the river man
Gm
Gonna tell him all I can
F
About the ban
A
On feeling free
Am
If he tells me all he knows
Gm
'Bout the way his river flows
F
I don't suppose
A
It's meant for me
[Outro]
A
Oh, how they come and go
A
Oh... How they come, go
