Chord progression with transition chords in parenthesis Am (G) F (Em) Dm G [Intro] Am F Dm G (x2) [Verse 1]
Am                           F
   Look at the shadow on our trees

           Dm            G
Seems I'll meet an early dusk

Am                               F
  Loretta looked up, the grey sky low

        Dm        G
Two-by-two on the bus

Am                       F
  Water and anger in our house

            Dm          G
Though she spoke of rainbows

Am                               F
  Reachin' the roof with soakin' shoes

        Dm              G
River's up, where'd she go?
[Chorus]
F        G      Am
  You're wiser    oh Loretta

F        G         F           G
  You're wiser and only twenty-five
[Interlude] Am F Dm G (x2) F G Am F G F G [Verse 2]
Am                       F
  During the TV floatin' by

            Dm               G
Through our room and out the door

Am                               F
  Loretta, she prayed for what to do

       Dm        G
If it rained any more

Am                              F
  She was a wash-cloth wet with love

      Dm            G
I was not; she was mine

Am                           F
  I'm in the olive tree next door

        Dm        G
River's up to my eyes
[Chorus]
F        G      Am
  You're wiser,   oh Loretta

F       G          F           G     Am
  Much wiser, and only just in time
