(Am) (Am/E)(Fj7) (Am/E)(G/D) (G)(G/B)(Am)
(Am) Wrong end of the rainbow,
(F)Wrong side of the dream.
I was (G)headstrong,
I was dead wrong,
Now I'm (E)running out of steam. (E/B)
(Am)Help me out of this jam,
(Fj7)You know who I am.
I'm a (G5)bag of bones
Wrapped (E)up in a three-piece (Am)suit. (Am/G)(Am) (C/B)
(C) Thought I made it (C/E)to the promised (Fj7)land,
But they skimmed off (Am)all of the cream.
(Bbj7/F)Wrong end of the rainbow,
(D#j7)Wrong side of the dream. (bass notes D#-E to…)(Am) (Am/E)(Fj7) (Am/E)(G/D) (G)(G/B)(Am)
Thought my skin was thicker,
(F)Thought my heart was tough.
I re(G)sisted,
They persisted,
They've (E)won - I've had enough. (E/B)
(Am)Help me through,
You (Fj7)know what I must do.
On a (G5)scale of one to ten,
I've (E)fallen off the (Am)chart. (Am/G)(Am) (C/B)
(C) Thought I made it (C/E)to the promised (Fj7)land,
But they skimmed off (Am)all of the cream.
(Bbj7/F)Wrong end of the rainbow,
(D#j7)Wrong side of the dream. (bass notes D#-E to…)(Am) (Am/E)(Fj7) (Am/E)(G/D) (G)(G/B)(Am) (C/B)
(C)Tell the truth,
Tell the truth,
(G)They say tell the (Am)truth.
(F)They say tell the truth,
But you (E)don't have to tell it too (E7)well. (hold)
(Am)Summer sun is burning,
Like in (F)childhood long ago.
(G)No more caution,
This exhaustion
Sucked me (E)dry and laid me low. (E/B)
(Am)Here's the deal,
(Fj7)You know how I feel.
So don't (G5)kid yourself,
I'm (E)ready to cross the (Am)line. (Am/G)(Am) (C/B)
(C) Thought I made it (C/E)to the promised (Fj7)land,
But they skimmed off (Am)all of the cream.
(Bbj7/F)Wrong end of the rainbow,
(D#j7)Wrong side of the dream.

More than background music.
You'll hear folk, blues, jazzy songs, rock. Big voice. Albums recommended by
Gordon Bok, Harvey Andrews, Jez Lowe and others. janhauenstein@gmx.de
Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year......more
