Mister Wrong
Johnny Hickman/Cracker
[G]Well meet me by the river that goes nowhere,[C]
[G]Let me lay my sorry trip on you[D]
Oh won't you meet me [G]by the river little darlin'[C]
[G]I might just let you see my bar[D]e tattoo.[G]
[G]I was gonna bring you flowers but I didn't.[C]
[G]
It's the t[D]hought that counts and I think I'm a bit too broke,
but there's some change in [G]my ashtray,[C]
maybe just enough [G]to pay
[C] [D]
[G]for a half pint of something probably make us choke.
chorus:
G F# E (walk down bass notes)
Well no [D]I'd rather not go and meet your family[G]
G, F#, E,
They'd prob[D]ably send me back where I belong,[G]
Don't wanna hear abo[C]ut your mister right,[G]
He's ou[D]t of town[G] tonight[C],
[G]Baby come and spend some time with mister[D] wrong.[G]
[G]I drive a one-eyed Malibu without a muffler[C]
[G]
a[D]nd a tape deck that works if you kick it hard enough
[G] [C] [G]
and baby if you[C] like to read, I've got some great pornography
and a ten[G] pound flashlight floating in t[D]he trunk.[G]
repeat chorus
And do [C]you have a girlfriend and does she look as good as you[G]
and would she lik[C]e to meet my brother?
He'll be out[D7] of jail in a month or two.
instrumental break on verse chords
repeat first verse, chorus, end on this last line:
Yeah where I come [C]from they call me mister wr[D]ong.[G]
All errors, misprints and mispellings are mine and mine alone.
