I'd like to talk a little bit about this song before I play it for you.
You know, I started off as a musician.
I was just thinking on the way here that
I never got a chance to talk about any of the licks I played before I played them.
You know, like, I'd like to tell you a little about this [D] lick, you know.
[A] But anyway, songwriters, we get to tell you a little about how we wrote them.
That's kind of a nice added thing.
Anyway, I write mainly on the piano and in my car.
I write a lot in the car.
And this is
there are going to be several songs I do tonight,
which I can tell you exactly which road I was on and all that.
In case you want to try songwriting, you can, you know, [B] just head out there.
I'll tell you right where to start.
Anyway, this particular song, [N] I went to play a gig one night at the Knights of Columbus.
And I hadn't been here very long, so I said, you know, I looked on the yellow pages
and there it was, and so I drove up.
And I was running late that night, but I had just enough time to unload
and go in and downbeat at 9 o'clock.
And so I pulled up, and it was about quarter to 9, and there was nobody in the parking lot.
And there was a door open, and one guy sweeping in the kitchen in a truck or something, I don't know.
So I thought, well, you know, this is going to be a light crowd, okay, so I guess.
So I got out and I went inside and I said, this is Knights of Columbus, right?
And he goes, yeah.
And I said, great.
I was afraid I was at the wrong one.
He goes, oh, well, there's four or five Knights of Columbus in Nashville.
I said, oh, no.
So I figured right away, maybe I'm at the wrong one.
So I, you know, I asked him where some of the other ones were,
and he told me there was one by St.
Thomas Hospital.
So I said, well, it must be that one.
So anyway, the reason I'm bringing all this up is being a songwriter, you know,
we're always listening to what's going on around us and everything.
And suddenly I was struck, you know, immediately the thought I had was I'm in the wrong place at the right time.
And then I thought, well, that's been written probably.
So I thought, well, I'm in the wrong, like I'm with the wrong person at the right time.
I thought about that.
And so anyway, one thing led to another and I ended up with this song,
which was the first song I ever wrote that became a hit.
And it was an England and John Ford Coley hit.
And it's called, well, you'll see what it's [C] called when it gets to the chorus.
[D] [G] [D]
[A] [D] Met you on a [F#m] springtime day.
[D] You were mine in [G] your life and I [D] was mine in mine [G] too.
[D] And lady, when you looked my way, [G] I had a strange sensation.
And [D] darling, that's when I [Am] knew.
It's [G] sad to belong to [F#m] someone [Bm] else when [Em] the right [A] one [D] comes along.
[C] [D] Oh, [G] it's sad to belong [F#m] to someone [Bm] else [E] when the right [D] one comes along.
[G] [D] I wish I had a [A] time machine.
[D] I could make myself [E] go back [D] until the day I was [G] born.
[A] [D]
I would live my life again, rearrange it so that I'd be yours from now [Am] on.
[D] Oh, it's sad to belong to [F#m] [Bm] someone else when the right [A] one comes [D] along.
[C] [D] Oh, it's [G] sad to belong to [F#m] someone [Bm] else [Em] when the right one comes [D] along.
[C]
[G] So I'll live my life in a [F#m] dream then [Bm] for [A] the rest of my [D] day.
[Am]
[D] Just you and [G] me, oh, [D] hand in hand in [G] a wishful [A] memory.
Oh, I [Am] guess that's all it's [G] ever gonna [D] be.
[A]
[D] Oh, I wake [F#m] up in the night [G] and I [Bm] reach beside me [G] hoping [D] you will be [G] there.
[D] But instead I find [A] someone [G] who believed in me when I [D] said I'd always [Am] care.
[G] Oh, it's sad to belong [F#m] to someone [D] else [Em] when the right one [D] comes along.
Oh, [C] [D] [G] it's sad to belong [F#m] to someone [Bm] else when the right one [D]
comes.
