  Betty came by on her way
                         Ab
Said she had a word to say
                   C
About things today
And fallen leaves.

Cm                             Bbm
  Said she hadn't heard the news
                           Ab
Hadn't had the time to choose
             C
A way to lose
But she believes.

  Going to see the river man
                          Ab
Going to tell him all I can
             C
About the plan
For lilac time.

Cm                          Bbm
  If he tells me all he knows
                            Ab
About the way his river flows
                   C
And all night shows
In summertime.

  Betty said she prayed today
                       Ab
For the sky to blow away
            C
Or maybe stay
She wasn't sure.

Cm                                  Bbm
  For when she thought of summer rain
                        Ab
Calling for her mind again
                C
She lost the pain
And stayed for more.

  Going to see the river man
                          Ab
Going to tell him all I can
             C
About the ban
On feeling free.

  If he tells me all he knows
                             Ab
About the way his river flows
               C
I don't suppose
It's meant for me.

Oh, how they come and go
Oh, how they come and go
