Mr. Wrong
by Johnny Hickman, performed by Cracker
G C G
Won't you meet me by the river that goes nowhere
G C D G
Let me lay my sorry trip on you
G C G
Well won't you meet me by the river little darlin'
G C D G
I might just let you see my bad tattoo
I was gonna bring you flowers but I didn't
It's the thought that counts and I believe I'm a bit too broke
But there's change in my ashtray maybe just enough to pay
For a half pint of something prob'ly make us choke
CHORUS:
G F# E
D G
No I'd rather not go and meet your family
G F# E
D G
They'd prob'ly send me back where I belong
C G
Don't wanna hear about your mister right
D C
'Cause he's out of town tonight
G D G
Baby come and spend some time with Mister Wrong
I drive a one-eyed Malibu without a muffler
And a tape deck that works if you kick it hard enough
And baby if you like to read I got some great pornography
And a ten-pound flashlight rollin' in the trunk
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
C
Now do you have a girlfriend
G
And does she look as good as you
C
Would she like to meet my brother
D7
He'll be out of jail in a month or two
Won't you meet me by the river that goes nowhere
Let me lay my sorry trip on you
Well won't you meet me by the river little darlin'
I might just let you see my bad tattoo
(CHORUS)
C
Oh no
G D G
Yeah where I come from they call me Mister Wrong
