[A] 1, 2, 3, 4 Oop!
[D] [A]
[D] [A] I had my [D] future wrapped up in [E] a parcel
And [D] no one [E] even thought of [A] asking me
The day I turned [D] fifteen I called [E] the mail train
To [D] find what else [E] might be in life [A] for me
I [F#m] rode on trucks, trains and [C#] lived on nothing
[F#m] Served me right for wanting to [B] be free
[C#m] Ah [A] well, that's the way [D] society [E] looked at it
But [D] it didn't seem [E] to be that way [A] to me
And the biggest [D] disappointment [A] in the family was me
The only [D] twisted branch [E] upon our good old family tree
I [A] just couldn't be [C#] the person [F#m] they expected [B] me to be
[A] And the biggest [D] disappointment in [E] the world [A] was me
[D] [A] A [D]
[A] lot more [D] dinner times than [E] there were dinners
[D] Oh, I learned a lot [E] that hurt me [A] at the time
That this quiet [D] country boy went [E] home a different man
[D] With a memory [E] of distance on [A] my mind
[F#m] I guess I spoke too loud [C#] and laughed too often
[F#m] And maybe drank too many glasses [B] down
[A] Ah, perhaps my clothes [D] were older, [E] then I realized
A [D] relief to all [E] concerned when I [A] left town
And the biggest [D] disappointment in [A] the family was me
The only twisted [D] branch upon [E] our good old family tree
[A] I just couldn't be [C#] the person they [F#m] expected me to [B] be
