Chords for Intro and The Year It All Went Wrong by Michael McDermott

[C] _ [E] At UXRT we've been [N] admirers and adorers of Michael McShermick for a very long time now.
He's written so many great songs, some of them are theme songs.
Cub [G] fans of course rejoice in the hearing of Unemployed whenever they hear it.
_ _ _ [D#] _
He's a great storyteller, he's an old [G] soul, he's a poet, he's a rock contour, he's the son of Johnny [N] DiMersi,
and he's absolutely one of the last of the hardcore tubidors.
Please welcome Michael McShermick. _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ The heart of [D] this album really was kind of the turning point, like as [G#] some of you must [A#] know, _
I've taken a lot of hits over the years [Gm] and really _ [D] _
_ [Gm] there's three places _ geographically that have kept me alive.
_ One is in [F#m] Italy and one [E] is in Philadelphia and the other obviously is here in [D] Chicago. _ _ _ _ _

[D] _ _ I did [G] _ _ _

[D] corrupted [G] me
and I had a thousand dollars in cash that [B] he stole from me and I trusted him [G] and I never got the money back.
That's the first line of this song, I [D] lost a gram in Memphis.
Well, I thought [A]
poetically it didn't sound [Bm] as good as, a preacher stole a gram in Memphis?
It [A#m] didn't [B] sound as good, but [Bm] I _ [B] lost a gram in [G] Memphis. _ _ _ _ _

_ _ [G] _ From May to [A] December.
_ _ [G] _ I always _ [D] _
remember.
_ [G] _ Being here [A] at all [D] and at all. _ _ _
_ _ _ I hurt some friends in New York.
_ _ [Bm] I lost my girl from England.

[D] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ And I [A] don't know.
[F#] What's free _ [Bm] is _ [A] _ _ [E] _ wrong. _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ Maybe I'll [A] wake.
_ From [G] a dream where I'm [A]
forsaken.
_ [G] _ From here [D] at [A] all.
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] And [Bm] I'm searching and I'm [F#m]
seeking.
Though [G] my course is [D] through. _

_ _ _ And I [A] don't _ know [F#] if I'm [Bm] that _ [A] strong.
_ [E] _ _ _ _ Or if [A] I belong. _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ The trouble seems [D] to look.
