The Biggest Disappointment

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


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


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