E                        A           E
Black Maryland road on a dark mellow night
E                   B
Two cars pulling up ahead on my right
E                         A            E
Gone up the highway gonna see my betty jean
        E
She got eyes like a jack rabbit
        B               E
Staring dead at my high beams

[Verse 2]
E                           A         E
Well over in the woods in a hail door light
E                       B
Two red hills boys in a bare knuckle fight
E                                A E
Stretched out on the hood of our gto
E                               B        E
She's filing her nails shouting go bobby go

[Chorus]
      A
Betty Jean, Betty Jean
      E           B
Betty Jean, Betty Jean
      A
Betty Jean, Betty Jean
             E                     A
Honey you're cute but you sure are mean
         E
Oh Betty Jean

[Verse 3]
E
Well she jumped in my car
           A       E
We started driving around
E
She turned that radio dial
        B
To that head banging sound
E                           A             E
Gone up the highway she was giving me the itch
E
She put her hand on my leg
           B             E
I drove us in a drainage ditch

[Chorus]
      A
Betty Jean, Betty Jean
      E           B
Betty Jean, Betty Jean
      A
Betty Jean, Betty Jean
             E                     A
Honey you're cute but you sure are mean
         E
Oh Betty Jean

[Verse 4]
E                       A                   E
Next thing I knew I was running through the crowd
E
I swore her my love forever
        B
She was laughing out loud
        E                            A E
We were married in the spring out on 531
E                           B            E
Had fifteen kids and I hate every single one

[Chorus]
      A
Betty Jean, Betty Jean
      E           B
Betty Jean, Betty Jean
      A
Betty Jean, Betty Jean
             E                     A
Honey you're cute but you sure are mean
         E     A        E
Oh Betty Jean, Oh Betty Jean
A        B
