Intro
Am F Dm G (x2)
Verse 1
Am                           F
   Look at the shadow on our trees
           Dm            G
Seems I'll meet an early dusk
Am                               F
  Loretta looked up, the grey sky low
        Dm        G
Two-by-two on the bus
Am                       F
  Water and anger in our house
            Dm          G
Though she spoke of rainbows
Am                               F
  Reachin' the roof with soakin' shoes
        Dm              G
River's up, where'd she go?
Chorus
F        G      Am
  You're wiser    oh Loretta
F        G         F           G
  You're wiser and only twenty-five
Interlude

Verse 2
Am                       F
  During the TV floatin' by
            Dm               G
Through our room and out the door
Am                               F
  Loretta, she prayed for what to do
       Dm        G
If it rained any more
Am                              F
  She was a wash-cloth wet with love
      Dm            G
I was not; she was mine
Am                           F
  I'm in the olive tree next door
        Dm        G
River's up to my eyes
Chorus
F        G      Am
  You're wiser,   oh Loretta
F       G          F           G     Am
  Much wiser, and only just in time
