Intro: (x2)
A minorAm FF DmDm G+G

Verse 1:
A minorAm              FF
  Look at the shadow on our trees
      DmDm      G+G
Seems I'll meet an early dusk
A minorAm                FF
 Loretta looked up, the grey sky low
    DmDm    G+G
Two-by-two on the bus
A minorAm            FF
 Water and anger in our house
      DmDm     G+G
Though she spoke of rainbows
A minorAm                FF
 Reachin' the roof with soakin' shoes
    DmDm       G+G
River's up, where'd she go?

Chorus:
FF    G+G   A minorAm
 You're wiser  oh Loretta
FF    G+G     FF      G+G
 You're wiser and only twenty-five

Verse 2:
A minorAm            FF
 During the TV floatin' by
      DmDm        G+G
Through our room and out the door
A minorAm                FF
 Loretta, she prayed for what to do
    DmDm    G+G
If it rained any more
A minorAm               FF
 She was a wash-cloth wet with love
   DmDm      G+G
I was not; she was mine
A minorAm              FF
 I'm in the olive tree next door
    DmDm    G+G
River's up to my eyes

Chorus:
FF    G+G   A minorAm
 You're wiser,  oh Loretta
FF    G+G     FF      G+G   A minorAm
