The Beach Boys – Ballad Of Ole Betsy (Guitar)

C  Am  Em  A7
Betsy, Betsy, 

F        Dm7   G7
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

        C              Em
She was born in 'thirty-two

    F            G7
And was she ever pretty

    C                    Em
She rode a freight train west

        F                E7
All the way from Detroit City

Am7               C
Betsy's seen more places 

          F            Fm
Than I'll ever hope to see

Em7               Am7
Betsy's been more loyal

     Dm7              G7
Than any friend could be

     C                 Em
With some she traveled fast

     F             G7
With others it was slow

C                 Em
Betsy's seen them all

      F                  E7
She's seen them come and go

    Am7                C
She must have had some favorites

  F              Fm
Before I finally met her

    Em7            Am7
And now that she's all mine

     Dm7            G7
They better just forget her

C           C7
Betsy was a lady

    F               Fm
And that she will remain

Em7             Am7
Betsy took some beatings

        Dm7           G7
But she never once complained

    C             Em
She had a classic beauty

     F              G7
That everyone could see

  C               Em
I was the last to meet her

        F                E7
But she gave her life to me

    Am7           C
She may be rusted iron

       F              Fm
But to me she's solid gold

      Em7                 Am7
And I just can't hold the tears back

       Dm7     G7      F   C
'Cause Betsy's growing old
