Verse:
FF                       C majorC
Me and Betty Oshawa, we had a little band
  G minorGm
I met her in a parking lot
       Bb majorBb
When I answered a want ad
          FF
We played every little juke-joint
    C majorC
And every single bar
G minorGm
Every little honky-tonk
          Bb majorBb
You could get to with a car


Refrain:
FF           Bb majorBb   FF      C majorC
And it was 'Fire On The Mountain'
G minorGm                    Bb majorBb
That was her favorite one
                 FF
But there wasn't nothing that I didn't know
   C majorC
So we played the Top 40 radio
     G minorGm                               Bb majorBb
Even though we didn't really like the songs
      FF
I was wrong

C majorC  G minorGm  Bb majorBb

Verse:
FF
Me and Betty Oshawa
           C majorC
We didn't really get along
   G minorGm                  Bb majorBb
My ego was as big as a roadhouse parking lot
FF
Sometimes I'd hear her praying
   C majorC
Outside her dressing room
    G minorGm                      B minorBm
For help with the songs she didn't want to do


Refrain:
FF           Bb majorBb   FF      C majorC
And it was 'Fire On The Mountain'
G minorGm                    Bb majorBb
That was her favorite one
                 FF
But there wasn't nothing that I didn't know
   C majorC
So we played the Top 40 radio
     G minorGm                               Bb majorBb
Even though we didn't really like the songs
      FF

Verse:
FF
Betty got a record deal
           C majorC
And she's living in L.A
G minorGm
I work in a grocery store
Bb majorBb
Every single day
    FF
Sometimes she comes to town
    C majorC
She plays the local hall
    G minorGm
She always leaves her number
      Bb majorBb
But I don't return the call


Refrain:
FF           Bb majorBb   FF       C majorC
And it was 'Fire On The Mountain'
G minorGm                        Bb majorBb
That's still her favorite one
            FF
And there's still nothing that I don't know
C majorC
She's on the Top 40 radio
      G minorGm                                Bb majorBb
How I love it when I hear them play her songs
      FF      C majorC
I was wrong


Outro:
      G minorGm     Bb majorBb   FF
