Betty by Chris Cummings
 
Capo 2 fret
 
Intro G D C D (twice)
 
G D C D
I was Archie, He was Reggie
G D C D
I guess that made her Veronica
G D C D
Competition was getting heavy
G D C D
Fighting for her unrequited love
Am7 C D G D C D
And sugar sugar I was so blind and wrong
Am7 C D C D
You know that Archie should have seen this all along
 
Chorus:
G D C D
You? my Betty baby strong and steady baby
G D C D
You get me ready to face about any thing
G D C D
With you I cannot fail I?the king of Riverdale
G D C D
Sell my jalopy just to buy you a ring
G D C
You? my Betty baby D
just to buy you a ring
G D C D
You? my Betty baby
 
You know my best friend let?call him Jughead
Come to think of it that?not much of a stretch
But even he says I? come to my senses
Chasing veronica is like walking on a ledge
The view is so sweet if your balance is sound
But she will push you just to see how far you bounce

And sugar sugar I was so blind and wrong
Am7 C D C D
You know that Archie should have seen this all along
