Betty came by on her way 
                        G# 
Said she had a word to say 
                   Cadd9 
'Bout things today and the falling leaves 
Cm9                         Bbmadd4 
Said she hadn't heard the news 
                         G# 
Hadn't had the time to choose 
             Cadd9 
A way to lose what she believes 

Gonna see the riverman 
Gonna tell him all I can 
About the plan for my return 
If he tells me all he knows 
'Bout the way his river flows 
And all night shows in summertime 



Betty said she prayed today 
For the sky to blow away 
Or maybe stay, she wasn't sure 
For when she thought of summer end 
Calling for her mind again 
She lost the pain, and stayed for more 

Gonna see the riverman 
Gonna tell him all I can 
About the ban on feeling free 
If he tells me all he knows 
'Bout the way his river flows 
I don't suppose there's one for me
