Irene Wilde Ian Hunter
Intro/Pre-chord: C F C Dm C G
When [C]I was just six[CM9/B]teen I stood wait[Am]ing for a drea[C]m
At [F]Barker Street Bus Sta[G]tion every [C]night[F]
When I [C]tried to get i[CM9/B]t on she just loo[Am]ked at me with[C] scorn
My [F]courage turned to [G]fear and I took [C]flight[C] [CM9/B]
For those [Am]looks they seemed to [F]say you ain't [G]nothin' go [C]away[CM9/B]
You're just some [Am]face in s[G]ome c[F]rowd so I w[G]alked home and I v[C]owed
I'm gonna [F]be [Em]somebo[Dm]dy someday[C]
Her n[C]ame was Irene [CM9/B]Wilde Oh such bea[Am]uty for a chil[C]d
Whe[F]n she started dating [G]boys I near[C]ly died[F]
Well I [C]could not bare[CM9/B]ly stand seeing a[Am]nyone hold her[C] hand
I t[F]hought I'd have to[G] crawl away and [C]hide[C] [CM9/B]
In my mothe[Am]r's Sunday [F]room I'd [G]compose so many t[C]unes
T[CM9/B]hey was all the same [Am]just a fr[G]ame f[F]or the name[G] and just to say[C]
I'm gonna [F]be [Em]somebo[Dm]dy someday[C]
[Bb]Wild was your [F]name, I soon [G]left that country [C]town[CM9/B]
I've been a[Am]round, I've seen some [F]things,
I've seen some [G]ups, I've seen some [C]downs
[Bb]Smile through your[F] shock as you[G] hear your name ou[C]tloud
I's that [Am]face in the [F]crowd
I didn't [G]dig it I'm much too [C]proud
[C] [F] [C] [F] [C] [F]
When I[C] was just sixt[CM9/B]een I stood waiti[Am]ng for that dr[C]eam
At [F]Barker street bus sta[G]tion non-af[C]fair[F]
At the[C] time it seeme[CM9/B]d so sad but it d[Am]idn't turn out[C] bad
if she [F]hadn't turned me [G]down I'd still be [C]there[C] [CM9/B]
Well I [Am]think most folks ag[F]ree
A little [G]put-down makes them [C]see[CM9/B]
they aint the [Am]chain they'[G]re just a l[F]ink
and thats [G]why she made me [C]think
I'm gonna [F]be [Em]somebo[Dm]dy, [F]be [Em]somebo[Dm]dy, [F]be [Em]somebo[Dm]dy - s[C]omeday
