_ [G#m] _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [N] _
I forgot the words.
_ _ Andy York [B] got a hold of this one ladies [G#m] and gentlemen.
Andy York over here on my right.
_ [N] _ He decided this song was past its sell by date and we organised it.
Goes something like this.
_ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ [G#m] _ _ [E] _
_ [B] _ [F#] _ _ [B] _ _ [F#] _ _
[B] _ _ [F#] _ _ [G#m] _ _ [E] _ _
[B] _ [F#] _ [G#m] _ [F#] [B] When I [A#m] was just sixteen
[G#m] I stood waiting [B] for a dream
[E] A bar [F#] could sweep our station [B] every night
[F#] _ _ [B] Every time I'd [A#m] get it on
[G#m] She'd just look at [B] me with scorn
[E] My courage would [F#] turn to [G#] fear
[B] And I'd take flight
[F#] [G#m] All those looks, they [E] seemed to say
[F#] You ain't nothing, [B] go away
[F#] You're [G#m] just some [F#] face [E] in a crowd
[F#] So I went home [B] and I vowed
[E] I'm gonna [B] be [C#] somebody [B] someday
[F#] Her _ [G#m] _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _
_ [G#m] _ [F#] _ [B] name was [A#m] Irene Wiley
She [G#m] had such beauty [B] for a child
[E] When she started [F#] dancing, boy, I [B] nearly died
[F#] _ [E] [B] For I could not [F#] barely stand
[G#m] Seeing anyone [B] hold her hand
[E] I thought I'd have [F#] to cross a [B] wild [E] hide
[B] [F#] In [G#m] my [F#] mother's [E] living room
[F#] I composed so [B] many [F#] truths
Never [G#m] on the [F#] side
[E] Just a fright
[F#] For a night and [B] just a sight
[E] I'm gonna [B] be [C#] somebody [B] someday
What _ [A] _ [E] is your name?
[F#] I said, man, if that [B] comes your [A#m] time
[G#m] I've been around, I've [E] seen some fine
[F#] I've seen some ups, I've [B] seen some downs
[A] Smile [E] through your shock
[F#] Don't you hear your [B] name out [F#] loud?
Cause it's [G#m] that [F#] face [E] in a crowd
[F#] I didn't like it, I'm [B] much too proud
[F#] When _ [G#m] _ _ [E] _
_ [B] _ _ [G#m] _ [F#] _ [B] _ _ _
[F#] _ [G#m] _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _ _ [G#m] _
[F#] _ [B] _ _ _ _ I was [F#] just sixteen
[G#m] I stood waiting [B] for that dream
[E] A barker [F#] street bus station, [B] long time
[F#] _ [C#m] _ [B] At the time it seemed [F#] so sad
[G#m] But it didn't turn [B] out bad
[E] If she hadn't messed [F#] me up, I'd [B] still be [E] there
[B] _ [F#] [G#m] Nothing more [E] spoke to me
[F#] A little boy down [B] makes them see
[F#] That they [G#m] ain't [B] trying, they're [E] just a league
[F#] And that's why she [B] made me think
[E] I'm gonna [B] be [C#m] somebody _ [G#m] [F#] Be [E] somebody [B] Be [C#m] somebody
[G#m] I'm _ _ _ _ [C#] _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ gonna be [B] somebody someday
[F#] _ _ [G#m] _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _ _
[F#] _ [F#] _ [B] _ _ [F#] _ _ [G#m] _ _
[E] _ [B] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [B] _ _
