Just a bit of slim G,C,G C,G,C,D C G C D They had my future wrapped up in a parcel C D G and no one even thought of asking me. C D The day I turned fifteen I caght the mailtrain C D G To find what else might be in life for me. Em B7 I rode on trucks and trains and lived on nothing; Em A7 Served me right for wanting to be free- G C D Ah well that's the way society looked at it, C D G But it didn't seem to be that way to me. Chorus G D G And the biggest disappointment in the family was me; C D7 the only twisted branch upon our good old fam'y tree G B7 Em I just couldn't be the person they ecpected me to be G C D G A7 And the biggest disappiontment in the world was me A lot more dinner times than there dinners I learned a lot that hurt me at the time Then this quiet country boy came home a different man with a memory of distance on my mind But i always spoke to loud and drank to often, Maybe drank to many glasses down And perhaps my clothes were older that I realized A relief to all concerned when I left town Chorus Chorus
