[Verse 1]
C
  Cigarettes were a quarter then,
C
  bobby socks and jeans were in,
C                                  
Elvis sang the songs that we loved 
Dm7 G
so,
         Dm7            G
and the most important thing to us
Dm7                  G            
 was keeping gas in my old truck,
 Dm7

Dm7                   G   
   so I could take us to the 
            C
drive-in show.


[Verse 2]
C
  Then graduation finally came,
C
  Uncle Sam called me away,
     C                             
you married someone else while I 
  Dm7   G
was gone,

          Dm7              G
but I've kept your letter all these 
years
Dm7                     G
  and I can't help but shed a tear,
       Dm7                 G      
when I read the words you wrote me
        C
 years ago.

[Chorus]
          Bb     F             
Baby I'm yours,    I'll love you 
   C
always,
          Bb             F        
I'm gonna stand by you until the 
        C
end of time,
         Bb                     F 
remember all of the good things   
                  C
that we shared together
              Bb     F        
signed, love Betty,    nineteen 
          C
fifty nine.

[Verse 2]
C
  I never will forget the day,
     C
when you and I went all the way,
   C
I was the first for you,
         Dm7    G
and you for me,
           Dm                  G
I've still got the truck that we 
loved in
    Dm7                 G
it takes me back there now and then,
Dm7            G              C
back to fifty nine in my memory.

[Chorus]
          Bb     F             
Baby I'm yours,    I'll love you 
   C
always,
          Bb             F        
I'm gonna stand by you until the 
        C
end of time,
         Bb                     F 
remember all of the good things   
                  C
that we shared together
              Bb     F        
signed, love Betty,    nineteen 
          C
fifty nine.
