[INTRO:] C [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:]
               G                  C
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
[INTERLUDE:] F G C F G F [VERSE 6:]
                G             C
Betty called me in to say goodnight 

F            G               C
Much to my relief and pure delight 

                      C7              F
And with the dawn the child in me was gone 

             G                  C        F  G 
Betty made a man out of me that night

  C                 C7
I think that was my big love scene 

  F              G            C
I do believe her engine run alright
