Betty Called Me In Chords & Lyrics - Gordon Lightfoot

CAPO: 4th Fret

[INTRO:] C

[VERSE 1]
Betty Jo, you [Dm7]made it plain,[F] when first you [C]held me near
Even though you [Dm7]caused me pain, [F]you were all the [G]world to me
[C]We made love, we [D]had such fun, [Dm]many fine times went[C] by us [Dm7]
Now it's all so hazy and a little bit crazy [C]
Betty Jo, my [D]heart's on fire, [Dm]I don't need this [C]crying [Dm7]
The next time you see me, in the back seat of a taxi's where I'll [C]be [F]

[VERSE 2]
Betty called me [G]in to say good[C]night
[F]Much to my re[G]lief and pure de[C]light
I think that was my [C7]big love scene
I [F]do believe her [G]engine run al[C]right [F]

[VERSE 3]
Betty said get [G]ready the time has [C]come
[F]I was young and my [G]good life had be[C]gun
And with the dawn the [C7]child in me was [F]gone
Betty made a [G]man out of me that [C]night [F] [G] [F]

[VERSE 4]
Betty made my [G]clothes and sewed my [C]jeans
[F]Listening to my[G] songs and foolish [C]schemes
I think the way she [C7]got to me
It would [F]seem like a laser [G]beam right to the [C]soul [F] [G]

[VERSE 5]
[F]Betty my true love, [G]do what you do to[C]night
[F]Where she goes I [G]hope she knows she's [C]right
The worst of times and the [C7]best of times
She was [F]never the kind to [G]kick and bitch and [C]fight

[INTERLUDE:] [F] [G] [C] [F] [G] [F]

[VERSE 6]
Betty called me [G]in to say good[C]night
[F]Much to my re[G]lief and pure de[C]light
And with the dawn the [C7]child in me was [F]gone
Betty made a [G]man out of me that [C]night [F] [G]
I [C]think that was my [C7]big love scene
I [F]do believe her [G]engine run al[C]right
