Hey Doug,
Beautiful day for a ride today.
I always liked the song "ballad of ole' Betsy" and wanted to figure it out.
b/t/w...where i put an Eb9th chord FOLLOWING THE Db it really is an Eb2nd, but
the 9th will work. Later, there is an Eb9th that follows the Bbm7- which really
should be the Eb9th.
Ab Cm Db Eb7
Betsy Betsy ah ah a ah ah ahhhhh
Ab Cm Db Eb9
She was...born in '32 and was she ever pretty
Ab Cm Db C
She rode a freight train west all the way from Detroit city
Fm Ab Db Dbm
Betsy's seen more places than I'll ever hope to see;
Cm Fm Bbm Eb7
Betsy's been more loyal than any friend could be
Ab Cm Db Eb9
With some she traveled fast with others it was slow
Ab Cm Db C
Betsy’s seem ‘em all she’s seen ‘em come and go
Fm Ab Db Dbm
She must have had some favorites before I finally met her
Cm Fm Bbm Eb7
But now that she’s all mine they better just forget her
Ab Ab7 Db Dbm
Betsy was a lady and that she will remain
Cm Fm Bbm7 Eb9
Betsy took some beatings but she never once complained
Ab Cm Db Eb9
She had a classic beauty that everyone could see
Ab Cm Db C
I was the last to meet her but she gave her life to me
Fm Ab Db Dbm
She may be rusted iron but to me she’s solid gold
Cm Fm
And I just can’t hold the tears back
Bbm Eb7 Ab
Cuz Betsy’s growing old
I havn't tweaked it yet but this should be pretty close. Have fun Tango
