SONG NAME - Band Name
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by:Dr smith
Email:alex_carson@hotmail.com
Tuning:EADGBe (capo 3rd)
This is somewhat similiar to the other version but I hope this ones a bit more
comprehensive. And this one covers the "Oh, how they come and go" bit whereas
the other one doesn't. This is quite a tough song to play rythmically speaking,
its in 5/4 time and starts on an anacrusis. One way I recommend on learning this
song properly is to sing along to it, this forces you to keep time better.

Repeat verse 1 for 3 and verse 2 for 4.
Verse 3: Betty said she prayed today
For the sky to blow away
Or maybe stay, she wasn't sure
For when she thought of summer rain
Calling for her mind again
She lost the pain and stayed for more.
Verse 4: Going to see the river man
Going to tell him all I can
About the ban, on flying free
If he tells me all he knows
About the way his river flows
I don't suppose it's meant for me.
(C13/G)
