Intro: A5   
  
   A5
If I remember right, her name was Betty 
        D5
We were gradutatin' seniors, goin' steady 
      E5
I was hesitant to wed, but she was ready 
    A5                    F#5               E5
For Holy Matrimony, 'til one night walkin' home 
    A5
She stopped off at the Strike & Spare Diner 
             D5
And lost her heart to a transfer-truck driver 
           E5
They had a rollin' honeymoon to Carolina 
            A5
I spent the whole summer cussin' them 
     F#5               E5
But, lookin' back - it must've been 
          A5
      Divine Intervention, that got (her/my) attention 

      It wasn't superstition or woman's intuition 
             F#5
      I've ruled out random chance 

      Destiny or circumstance 
          A5
      Biology - astrology, it wasn't numerology 
        E5
      Karma, Zeus, or Zen 

      Blowin' in the wind 

      The only ying-yang - galdang thing it coulda been 
            A5
      Was Divine Intervention 
          F#5
      Divine Intervention 
      A5
After six or seven years of near misses 
      D5
Empty promises and half-hearted kisses 
  E5
I met up lip to lip with my misses 
        A5
She was walkin' through the park 
        F#5                  E5
I said, "Lord, there goes my heart"
