OH! BETTYE JEAN
WORDS & MUSIC: Earl P. Reinhalter
INTRO: A
F#m E
CHORUS A: how it must hurt.
A E
gotta be hard.
D A
oh! Bettye Jean,
D A
oh! Bettye Jean.
F#m E
climbin' up mountains
A E
makes one tired.
D A
oh! Bettye Jean,
D A
oh! Bettye Jean.
E
I. your hands are bleeding
D A
from cliffs that you scale.
F#m E
you find that you can't
D A
put your feelings in jail.
E
you wake up cryin'
D A
it's not the right trail.
F#m E
they say, "why try?
D A
you're just a female."
D
so you quit
A E
before you can fail.
/// REPEAT CHORUS A ///
E
II. I'll follow
D A
wherever you lead:
F#m E
through mountains and snow
D A
where Hannibal skied;
E
through the shadows of valleys
D A
of death where I plead,
F#m E
"these mountains and valleys
D A
are not what I need."
D
but I want
A E
to see you succeed.
/// REPEAT CHORUS A ///
E
III. of all the mountains,
D A
not many remain.
F#m E
is there one
D A
has your kind of terrain?
E
or is this life
D A
just a futile campaign?
F#m E
I recall
D A
when I move to complain:
D
it's you
A E
who feels the most pain.
F#m E
CHORUS B: but you're gonna win,
A E
win this game.
D A
oh! Bettye Jean,
D A
oh! Bettye Jean.
F#m E
down in the fields,
A E
the sheep will exclaim:
D A
oh! Bettye Jean,
D A
oh! Bettye Jean.
D A E E7
ENDING: oh! Bettye Jean.
D A E E7
oh! Bettye Jean.
D A
oh! Bettye Jean.
D A
oh! Bettye Jean.
D A
oh! Bettye Jean.
D A
oh! Bettye Jean.
