INTRO: G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G


#1.
G+G          C majorC
A augmentedA friend and I made one short run to
D MajorD       G+G
Knoxville one day.
  C majorC              G+G
We got the apple pie and coffee hungries
    D MajorD
on the way.
  G+G       C majorC         D MajorD
We pulled into a little truck stop just
      G+G   C majorC        D MajorD
outside of town..pretty soon the waitress
   G+G
came around.

#2.
G+G                 D MajorD
She said my name is Betty and I'd know you
  G+G
anywhere.
  C majorC       G+G       A augmentedA
I'd like to have a minute of your time if
     D MajorD
you don't care.
     G+G      C majorC
Would you sing a song about me and the
D MajorD         G+G
waitresses you've met.
C majorC        D MajorD      G......E
About the broken promises we get.


CHORUS:
   A augmentedA    D MajorD     A augmentedA         D MajorD
Now, listen, Betty, I'm singing your song, about
      E MajorE         A augmentedA
the drivers that have done you wrong.
      D MajorD       E MajorE       A augmentedA
All I wanna do is lay the blame where it belongs.
D MajorD         E MajorE       A.....G
Listen, Betty, I'm singing you a song.

#3.
G+G        C majorC        D MajorD
There's a broken heart for every truckstop
    G+G
on the right.
C majorC         G+G
There's a lonesome driver for each passing
    D MajorD
set of lights.
   G+G        C majorC       D MajorD
Now, I can't tell you how to love or tell you
    G+G   C majorC        D MajorD        G+G
how to live..all I can do is tell it like it is.


#4.
G+G         C majorC       D MajorD
There's a million waitresses all up and down
  G+G
the line.
   C majorC          G+G         A augmentedA
I've seen some that were laughin' and I've seen
        D MajorD
some that were cryin'.
   G+G          C majorC       D MajorD
I've left some that were happy and I've left
        G+G
some that were blue.
  C majorC         D MajorD         G....E
If you're a waitress here's a song for you.


CHORUS:
   A augmentedA    D MajorD     A augmentedA         D MajorD
Now, listen, Betty, I'm singing your song, about
      E MajorE         A augmentedA
the drivers that have done you wrong.
      D MajorD       E MajorE       A augmentedA
All I wanna do is lay the blame where it belongs.
D MajorD         E MajorE       A.....G
Listen, Betty, I'm singing you a song.


#5.
G+G        C majorC         D MajorD
The highway is a part of hell that never caught
  G+G
on fire.
  C majorC       G+G
The driver is the kinda man the devil wouldn't
D MajorD
hire.
    G+G          C majorC     D MajorD
That's what you're sayin', Betty, but you can't
     G+G
stand the heat.
C majorC         D MajorD         G....E
Quit that job and let those drivers be.


CHORUS:
   A augmentedA    D MajorD     A augmentedA          D MajorD

All I wanna do is lay the blame where it belongs.
D MajorD         E MajorE      A augmentedA
Listen, Betty, I'm singing your song.


OUTRO:
   A augmentedA    D MajorD     A augmentedA          D MajorD
Now, listen, Betty, I'm singing you a song, about

the drivers that have done you wrong..(Fade.)
