Intro C  G  E4  Am 

C                  G 
 Just the other day, I heard my friend say 
E4                 Am 
 Life was oh so bad, love was all he had 
C                    G  
 You know all day long I sing sad songs 

E4                  Am 
 Got the blues feel, things no doctor can heal 
C                    G 
 You know that's okay, I never change my ways 
E4               Am                     E 
 Maybe I am wrong but I'll soon be gone 

D         C#m        F# 
If I fail no one can ever tell 
E          D     C#m    G 
And if I'm wrong, I'll soon be gone 
D         C#m        F# 
If I fail no one can ever tell 
E      D     C#m    G 
If I'm wrong, I'll soon be gone 

C                        G 
 I don't need no friends, I don't play no games 
E4                          Am 
 I need lots of room to roam before I go home 
C                 G 
 You know someday, Lord, if things go my way 
E4                             Am                E 
 I'll have a son of my own left here to carry on 

D         C#m        F# 
If I fail no one can ever tell 
E          D     C#m    G 
And if I'm wrong, I'll soon be gone

 Maybe I am wrong but I'll soon be gone
