Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A][Am]

[Verse 1]
Betty came [Am]on her wa[C]y
Said she had a word to [F]say
About things today
[Am]An d[A] fallen leav[E]es[Am]
Said she hadn't heard the [C]news
Hadn't had the time to [F]choose
A way to lose
[Am]But [A]she believes
[Am]I'm gonna see the river [C]man,
gonna tell him all I [F]can,
about the plan [A]for a [Am]lifetime.
If he'd tell me all he [C]knows
About the way this river flows
[F]And all night shows in [A]summertime
[F][C][F]
[A][F][Dm][C][Am][A]
[Am]
Betty said she prayed today
[C]For the sky to glow away
[F]Or maybe stay, [A]she wasn't [Am]sure
For when she thought of
summer [C]break
Falling for her mind [F]again
She lost the pain [A]and stared for more
[Am]Gonna see the river man
[C]Gonna tell him all I can[F][A]
[Am]If he tells me all he kn[C]ows
About the way his river [F]flows
I don't suppose
[A]It's meant for me
[Am]Oh, [A]how they come and go
[Am]Oh, [A]how they come
and [Am]go[A][Am]
[A]You
