_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
[Ab] _ This _ _ _ [C] _ _

_ When _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] I was just [G] 16, _ _ [Am] I stood waiting for a [C] queen
_ [F] At Barker Street bus [G] station [F] every [C] night
_ Every [F] _ _
_ _ [C] time I'd get it on, [G] _ _
she'd [Am] just look at me with [C] scorn _
_ [F] My courage turned to [G] fear and [C] I took flight
_ [F] _ _ [C] _
For those [Am] looks, they seemed to [F] say, _ you [G] ain't nothing, go [C] away
[G] You're just some [Am] face _ [C] in the [F] crowd
So [G] I went home and I [C] vowed [F] I'm gonna [C] be _ [Dm] somebody _ _ [C] someday
Her [F] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [C] name was Irene [G] _
Wilde, oh [Am] such beauty for [C] a child

_ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [C] For I could not barely [G] stand _ _ [Am] seeing someone hold [C] her hand
_ [G] [F] I thought I'd have to [G] crawl [C] away from her

In my [Am] _ mother's Sunday [F] room, _ I [G] composed so many [C] tunes
[G] They was all the [Am] same, _ just a [F] frame _ for [G] the night
And just [C] to say, _ _ [F] I'm gonna be [C] _ [Dm] somebody _ _ [C] someday _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
I [G] soon left that country [C] town, [Em] I've been [Am] around
[G] I've seen [F] some fame, _ [G] seen some ups, I've seen [C] some downs
_ _ [Bb] Smile _ for your [F]
shot, as you [G] hear your name [C] I vow
[G] Cause it's that [Am] face [G] in the [F] crowd, _ I [G] didn't dig it
[C] I'm much too proud, _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ when I was just sixteen
[G] _ _ _ [Am] I stood waiting for that [C] dream _
[F] A block of street, a [G] station, _ [F] none [C] affair
At _ _ _ _ the time it seemed so [G] sad, _ but [Am] it didn't turn out bad
_ [G] _
If [F] she hadn't messed me up, [G] _ I'd still [C] be there
[F] You _ [C] _ _
know [Am] I've made most folks [F] grieve _ _
[G] A little put down makes them [C] see, [Em] they ain't [Am] the chain

_ [F] I'm gonna be [C] _ [F] somebody, _ _ _ be _ [C] _ [Dm] somebody, _ _ _ [F] be [C] _ _
[Dm] somebody _ someday
