[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
