Ballad Of Ole' Betsy
The Beach Boys
Little Deuce Coupe
[1963]
[C]Bet[Am]sy, [Em]Bets[A7]y,
[F]Ah-ah-ah-[Dm7]ah-ah-[G7]ah
She was [C]born in 'thirty[Em]-two
And [F]was she ever [G7]pretty
She [C]rode a freight train [Em]west
All the [F]way from Detroit [E7]City
[Am7]Betsy's seen more [C]places
Than I'll [F]ever hope to [Fm]see
[Em7]Betsy's been more [Am7]loyal
Than [Dm7]any friend could [G7]be
With [C]some she traveled [Em]fast
With [F]others it was [G7]slow
[C]Betsy's seen them [Em]all
She's [F]seen them come and [E7]go
She [Am7]must have had some [C]favorites
Be[F]fore I finally [Fm]met her
And [Em7]now that she's [Am7]all mine
They [Dm7]better just for[G7]get her
[C]Betsy was a [C7]lady
And [F]that she will re[Fm]main
[Em7]Betsy took some [Am7]beatings
But she [Dm7]never once com[G7]plained
She [C]had a classic [Em]beauty
That [F]everyone could [G7]see
I [C]was the last to [Em]meet her
But she [F]gave her life to [E7]me
She [Am7]may be rusted [C]iron
But to [F]me she's solid [Fm]gold
And I [Em7]just can't hold the [Am7]tears back
'Cause [Dm7]Betsy's [G7]growing [F]old [C]
