Was I Right Or Wrong by Lynyrd Skynyrd
Was I Right Or Wrong
[Verse]
Dm
Like a restless leave
G Dm
in the autumn breeze
G A Dm
once, i was a tumbleweed
Dm
Like a rollin stone
G Dm
cold and all alone
G A Dm
living for the day my train would come
Dm
I never cared for school
G Dm
Or any golden rule
G A Dm
and Papa used to always say I was a useless fool
Dm
So I left my home
G Dm
to show 'em they was wrong
G A Dm
and headed out on the road signin my song
Dm
Then one sunny day
G Dm
the man he looked my way
G A Dm
and everything that I dreamed of it was real
Dm
Money, girls and cars
G Dm
big long cigars
G A Dm
and i caught the first plane home so papa could see
Dm
When I went home to show em they was wrong
G Dm
all that i found was two tombstones
G A Dm
somebody tell me please was i right or wrong
[Chorus]
Dm
first i got lost then i got found,
G Dm
but the ones that i loved are in the ground
G A Dm
papa I only wish you could see me now
Dm
If there's any way
G Dm
that you could hear what I say
G A Dm
Papa, I never meant to do you wrong
[Bridge]
Dm
all the money, girls and cars
G Dm
and all the world's long cigars
G A Dm
papa i just want you to know they couldn't take your place

If there's any way
that you could hear what I say
papa I never mean to be alone
all the money, girls and cars
and all the world's long cigars
papa i just want you to know they couldn't take your place
When I went home
to show em they was wrong
all that i found was his to-tombstone
somebody tell me please was i right or wrong
first i got lost then i got found,
but the ones that i loved are in the ground
papa I only wish you could see me now

Q E E E E E E E E E E E E E E Q E E E E E E E E E E E E Q
Like a resstless leaf,
In the autumn breeze, once i was a tumbleweed,
Like a rolling stone cold all alone,
Living for the day my dream would come,
Never cared for school, or any golden rules,
Papa used to all ways say I was a useless fool,
So I left my home to show him they was wrong,
And headed out on the road singing my song,
Then one sunny day, the man he looked my way,
And everything I dreamed of it was real,
Money, girls and cars, and big long cigars
And i caught the first plane home so papa could see...
When I went home to show him they was wrong,
All that i found was two tombstones,
Somebody tell me please was i right or wrong,
Woa it's such a sad song
First i got lost then i got found,
But the ones that i love were in the ground,
Papa i only wish you could see me now,
Take a listen papa...
Oooh I learned how to play my guitar,
Gunna be a superstar
*Instrumental*
...play one for mama now
*Instrumental*
First I got lost, then I got found,
The ones that I loved were in the ground,
Won't you tell me please was I right or wrong?
If there is any way, you can hear what i say,
Papa I never meant to do ya no wrong,
All the money, girls, and cars, and all the world's big long cigars,
Papa I just want you to know they couldn't take your place...
When I went home to show them they was wrong,
All that i found was a two tombstones,
Sombody tell me please was i right or wrong,
Lord it's such a sad song
First I got lost,
Then I got found,
The ones that i loved were in the ground,
Somebody tell me please was i right or wrong,
