Chords for Johnny Hickman of Cracker performs "Mr. Wrong"

This is a song called Mr.
Wrong.
I wrote this song up in the Bakersfield area.
I was up there hanging out with some of the guys in Merle Haggard's band,
just some local musicians and doing some gigs up there.
And that's [Gb] where I was when David called me to [E] see what I was doing,
to maybe think about starting a band.
And I said, I heard through the grapevine that Camper broke up.
[Eb] Is it true?
He said, yeah, it looks like we ran our course.
What are you doing?
And I said, I'm up in Bakersfield.
Because he knew me as a new wave and kind of a punk rock guy.
And I said, I'm up here doing the country thing because I love it so much.
And I just had to go and explore it a little bit.
So he said, well, let's get together and make some music.
And I showed the song.
It was one of the first songs that I showed David.
He had a whole batch of songs that he was working on.
And I showed him this one.
And [E] he liked it so much he wanted to sing it.
And I said, you're welcome to it.
I kind of wrote it with you in mind.
I thought it might make David Lowery laugh when I wrote [G] this song.
So [E] I'll [Eb] play it for you now.
Let's go, Mr.
Wrong.
[G] _ Well, meet me [F] by the river [G] that goes nowhere.
_ _ Let me [D] lay my sorry [G] trip on you.
_ Yeah, won't you meet me [C] by the river, [G] little darling?
_ I might just let [D] you see my [G] bad tattoo.
_ Well, I was gonna bring [C] you flowers, but [G] I didn't.
_ It's the thought that counts, [D] and I think I'm a bit [G] too broke.
_ But there's some change in my [C] ashtray, [G] maybe just enough to pay
for a half pint of [D] something that'd probably make [G] us choke.
_ _ [D] Well, no, I'd rather not go and [G] meet your family,
_ [D] cause it'd probably send me back where [G] I belong.
_ I don't [C] want to hear about your Mr.
[G] Right.
He's out of town [C] tonight.
[G] Baby, come and [D] spend some time with [G] Mr.
Wrong.
_ I'd drive a one-eyed [C] Malibu without [G] a muffler.
_ It's got a tape deck that [D] works if you kick it [G] hard enough.
_ _ And baby, if you'd [C] like to read, I got [G] some great pornography
and a 10-pound [D] flashlight rolling [G] in the trunk.
_ [D] Well, no, I'd rather not go and [G] meet your family,
_ [D] cause it'd probably send me back where [G] I belong.
_ I [C] don't want to hear about [G] Mr.
Right.
He's out of [C] town tonight.
[G] Baby, come and [D] spend some time with [G] Mr.
Wrong.
_ [C] Well, now, do you have a girlfriend?
Does she look as [G] good as you?
[C] Hey, would she like to meet my brother?
[D] He'll be out of jail in a month or two.
_ [G] _ _ [F] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [D] Well, no, I'd rather not go and [G] meet your family,
_ [D] yet it'd probably send me back where [G] I belong.
And I [C] don't want to hear about [G] Mr.
Right.
He's out of [C] town tonight.
_ [G] Baby, come and [D] spend some time with Mr.
Wrong.
[C] _ [G] Yeah, where I come [D] from, they call me [E] Mr.
Wrong.
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _
