I WAS WRONG Lyrics - Graham Parker

VERSE

A                                 D           A

I dreamed I was someone special  In another life

A                                 D                    A

They gave me my fifteen minutes Then they pulled the knife

 

BRIDGE

         G           A           D           C            

It was just another deal It was just another reel

       A                  D             C        D      G

On a tape that keeps on turning In the dark in another world

 

  CHORUS

   C                G             D

  I thought I was right   I was wrong

   C                 G            D

  I thought I had something  I was wrong

   C                 G             D

  I must have been dreaming  All along

          C    D          G

  I was wrong     I was wrong  (then) Instrumental over VERSE

 

BRIDGE

I had been replaced By a man who had no face

And who could not be traced To an address Just a better place

  

(CHORUS CHORDS)

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh  oh 

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh  oh       

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh  oh 

       G  D         G  D         G  D          G           G            G

I was wrong  I was wrong  I was wrong I was wrong  I was wrong  I was wrong 

 

Instrumental outro D and A and G noodling, ends with winding tape affect
