Bettie Bettie

E       A

[Chorus]
   A            D                 
Bettie Bettie where can you be?   
E                              
I ain't seen the likes of you in 
   D           A
Hustler magazine,
   A           D                  
Bettie Bettie don't you 
     E                             
understand?   If I had been taught 
 D               A
by you I'd be a different man.

[Verse 1]
     A                           
You came to New York City back in 
  D
Jack and Neil's day,
          E                      
All the lights of old Time Square 
                D                
they flickered on the great white 
   A
wave,
   A                               
Straight from Tennessee and in the 
  D
rarest beauty form,
      E                            
You walked before the car and 
      D          A
caused a nationwide storm.

[verse 2]
      A                         
Oh, Pappy he remembered you from 
  D
1952,
         E                         
All the boys down at the pool hall 
       D           A
had a calendar or two,
 A                               D
Forty odd years later your still up 
and goin' strong,

 E                             
But I can't help wonderin' just 
   D                  A
where it is you've gone.

[Chorus]
   A            D                 
Bettie Bettie where can you be?   
E                              
I ain't seen the likes of you in 
   D           A
Hustler magazine,
   A           D                  
Bettie Bettie don't you 
     E                             
understand?   If I had been taught 
 D               A
by you I'd be a different man.

  D     E     A

[Verse 3]
     A                           
Now all the boys at boot camp had 
        D
your picture on their wall,
   E                             
Thousands others saw you at their 
  D               A
bachelor party brawl,
      A                            
But they don't see you smile like I
      D
 do shining in my dreams,
       E                           
That jungle mistress, dark Madonna,
   D             A
 leather movie queen.

[Chorus]
   A            D                 
Bettie Bettie where can you be?   
E                              
I ain't seen the likes of you in 
   D           A
Hustler magazine,
   A           D                  
Bettie Bettie don't you 
     E                             
understand?   If I had been taught 
 D               A
by you I'd be a different man.

[Verse 4]
            A                    
Well, now Brigitte Bardot,  Julie 
           D
NewmaR,  Mary and Fay Ray,
    E                            D
And Mr. Vargas pictures made me 
           A
what I am today,
       A                           
But if I could see you one more 
       D
time and not lose all my nerve,
      E                            
I'd gladly give the greatest of 
       D          A
them all what she deserves.

[Chorus]
   A            D                 
Bettie Bettie where can you be?   
E                              
I ain't seen the likes of you in 
   D           A
Hustler magazine,
   A           D                  
Bettie Bettie don't you 
     E                             
understand?   If I had been taught 
 D               A
by you I'd be a different man.
