Ballad Of Ole' Betsy

1963
Version 1 was nearly perfect but was in the incorrect key of C Major. I merely transposed the version by
dallanbabb into G Major and Capo 1 since the song is in Ab Major. This is the easiest way to play it!
Enjoy!
(Capo 1)
GBetEmsy, BmBetsE7y,
CAh-ah-ah-Am7ah-ah-D7ah
She was Gborn in 'thirtyBm-two
And Cwas she ever D7pretty
She Grode a freight train Bmwest
All the Cway from Detroit B7City
Em7Betsy's seen more Gplaces
Than I'll Cever hope to Cmsee
Bm7Betsy's been more Em7loyal
Than Am7any friend could D7be
With Gsome she traveled Bmfast
With Cothers it was D7slow
GBetsy's seen them Bmall
She's Cseen them come and B7go
She Em7must have had some Gfavorites
BeCfore I finally Cmmet her
And Bm7now that she's Em7all mine
They Am7better just forD7get her
GBetsy was a G7lady
And Cthat she will reCmmain
Bm7Betsy took some Em7beatings
But she Am7never once comD7plained
She Ghad a classic Bmbeauty
That Ceveryone could D7see
I Gwas the last to Bmmeet her
But she Cgave her life to B7me
She Em7may be rusted Giron
But to Cme she's solid Cmgold
And I Bm7just can't hold the Em7tears back
'Cause Am7Betsy's D7growing Cold G
