Another nice song by Fred - from album 6 Volts
[Intro]
F C
Gm Bb
[Verse]
F C
Me and Betty Oshawa, we had a little band
Gm
I met her in a parking lot
Bb
When I answered a want ad
F
We played every little juke-joint
C
And every single bar
Gm
Every little honky-tonk
Bb
You could get to with a car
[Refrain]
F Bb F C
And it was 'Fire On The Mountain'
Gm Bb
That was her favorite one
F
But there wasn't nothing that I didn't know
C
So we played the Top 40 radio
Gm Bb
Even though we didn't really like the songs
F
I was wrong
C Gm Bb
[Verse]
F
Me and Betty Oshawa
C
We didn't really get along
Gm Bb
My ego was as big as a roadhouse parking lot
F
Sometimes I'd hear her praying
C
Outside her dressing room
Gm Bm
For help with the songs she didn't want to do
[Refrain]
F Bb F C
And it was 'Fire On The Mountain'
Gm Bb
That was her favorite one
F
But there wasn't nothing that I didn't know
C
So we played the Top 40 radio
Gm Bb
Even though we didn't really like the songs
F
I was wrong
[Break]
C Gm Bb
[Verse]
F
Betty got a record deal
C
And she's living in L.A
Gm
I work in a grocery store
Bb
Every single day
F
Sometimes she comes to town
C
She plays the local hall
Gm
She always leaves her number
Bb
But I don't return the call
[Refrain]
F Bb F C
And it was 'Fire On The Mountain'
Gm Bb
That's still her favorite one
F
And there's still nothing that I don't know
C
She's on the Top 40 radio
Gm Bb
How I love it when I hear them play her songs
F C
I was wrong
[Outro]
Gm Bb F
I was wrong
