I Tried, Bettina, I Tried
(Capo on 5th Fret)
©℗ 2015, 2022 Christopher W. Hyde

Am
Driving out of Dallas
C
In a Longhorn Sun
G F
Blinded by a Western Sky,
Am
I had no Idea
C
That the night before
G D
was my last look in ur eyes

Am
The world twists cruel
C
heel’s caught in a hole,
G F
Ur world goes crashing down
Am
They cover it up and
C
U grasp to ur home
G D
They try to lawyer u down

Refrain

F G
I tried, Bettina, I tried
C
Please forgive me for
F
making u cry
F G
I worry for u, did

the best I can do,
C F
Ur phoenix will rise and fly.

Am
Little honor’s in this world,
C
there’s no more shaking of hands,
G F
Insurers, shysters and whores
Am
Push u to the wall
C
wish u were dead,
G D
don’t let them crush your soul.

Am
Please remember our sweet times,
C
remember our good times
G F
I thank u for being my friend
Am
Ur mark is on me,
C
no matter what u see,
G D
our heart’s borders won’t mend.

Refrain

F G
I tried, Bettina, I tried
C
Please forgive me for
F
making u cry
F G
I worry for u, did

the best I can do,
C F
Ur phoenix will rise and fly.
