The Biggest Disappointment

G C G C

[Verse 1]
     G               C             
They had my future wrapped up in a 
D
parcel
     C           D                
and no one even thought of asking 
G
me.
                    C            
The day I turned fifteen I caught 
     D
the mail train
   C                    D         
To find what else might be in life
     G
 for me.
  Em                           
I rode on trucks and trains and 
          B7
lived on nothing;
Em                                
Served me right for wanting to be 
A7
free
         G               C    
Ah well, that's the way society 
         D
looked at it,
        C             D           
But it didn't seem to be that way 
   G
to me.

[Chorus]
        G            C            
And the biggest disappointment in 
    G
the family was me;

                 C              
the only twisted branch upon our 
 D               D7
good old family tree
       G               B7         
I just couldn't be the person they
   Em           A7
 expected me to be
        G            C            
And the biggest disappointment in 
    D         G
the world was me

[Verse 2]
  G               C               
A lot more dinner times than there
      D
 were dinners
  C                  D            
I learned a lot that hurt me at 
  G
the time
                        C       
Then this quiet country boy came 
        D
home a different man
       C         D              G
with a memory of distance on my mind
      Em                       
But I always spoke too loud and 
           B7
drank too often,
Em                           A7
Maybe drank too many glasses down
       G                    C     
And perhaps my clothes were older 
       D
than I realised
    C              D           
A relief to all concerned when I 
       G
left town

[Chorus]
        G            C            
And the biggest disappointment in 
    G
the family was me;
                 C              
the only twisted branch upon our 
 D               D7
good old family tree
       G               B7         
I just couldn't be the person they
   Em           A7
 expected me to be
        G            C            
And the biggest disappointment in 
    D         G
the world was me

[Chorus]
        G            C            
And the biggest disappointment in 
    G
the family was me;
                 C              
the only twisted branch upon our 
 D               D7
good old family tree
       G               B7         
I just couldn't be the person they
   Em           A7
 expected me to be
        G            C            
And the biggest disappointment in 
    D         G
the world was me
