I Wanted to Be Wrong Lyrics
by R.E.M.
of it out...its pretty much just picking chords. pretty easy
G------1------------1--1-1-1--------| Let notes keep ringing throughout
E--0----------0h2-2-----------------|
Verse (Very similar to intro)
Hold the chord and pretty much strum, but this is kinda what i do
G--1-1-1-1---1------1-1-1-1-1--------| ==>its easy to make the E/F# from the E
D--2-2-2-2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2-2--------| if you hold the 2nd frets of the E
A--2-2-2-2-2---2--2-2-2-2---2--------| chord with your ring and pinky
E--0-0-0-------0h2--2----------------| finger. Then use index to hit the
2nd fret on the bass E string for
the E/F# chord.
You know where I come from
you know what I feel
you're Yul Brenner Westworld
reporting from the field.
I threw it into reverse,
made a motion to repeal.
You kicked my legs from under me,
and tried to take the wheel.
I told you I wanted to be
Wrong, but everyone is humming
a song that I don't under--(start the intro guitar)--stand.
(Play intro 2 times)
2nd Verse(same chords as first verse)
now I know that the sun has shined
on my side of the street.
the basket of America,
the weevils and the wheat.
the milk and honeyed congregation,
scrubbed and apple-cheeked
salute Apollo 13 from the
rattle jewelry seats.
CHORUS again (written below)
mythology's seductive and it
turned a trick on me
that I have just begun to under---(start intro chords)stand.
(play intro riff twice)
I told you I wanted to be
Wrong, but everyone is humming
a song that I don't under--(start the intro guitar)--stand.
(PLay intro twice)
Humming Part (not really the exact amount of times to strum)
s4
(verse)
the rodeo is staged, gold circle
goat-ropers and clowns.
a rumble in the third act, tie
'em up and burn 'em down.
we're armed to the teeth,
born a little breech;
blue-plate special analysts,
cells and SUV's
we can't approach the Allies 'cause
they seem a little peeved
and speak a language we don't under(start to play intro)stand.
(Play intro twice) then:
I told you I wanted to be
Wrong, but everyone is humming
a song that I don't under--(start the intro guitar)--stand.
(Play intro twice)
Humming Part 2 (not really the exact amount of times to strum)
s4
(No guitar until the last "understand"==> ending with the intro)
storm into the boardroom of the conquering elite.
did you recognize the madman who is shouting in the streets?
destroy the things that I don't understand
destroy the things that I don't understand.
