Wrong Side

Chris Cornell


Tom: G#m

    G#m           D#m    G#m
When I was just a boy of ten
    G#m         D#m     G#m
My father met a miner’s death
B                      F#     B
Trapped inside through twenty nights
F#                  C#m
No one made it out alive
   G#m         D#m       G#m
So there I was alone but free
    G#m          D#m   G#m
The master of my destiny
    B                F#      B
But trouble found me right away
   F#                         C#m
My close companion since that day


[Chorus]
       
        E              F#      G#m
And I’m on the side of wrong again
    E            F#       G#m
I’m on the wrong side my friend
     E            F#
Whichever way the wind is blowing
   B                C#
No matter where the river bends
    E/C#           F#     G#m
I'm on the side of wrong again


[Verse 2]

   G#m   D#m    G#m
At 21 I fell in love
G#m          D#m  G#m
To a girl of 16 years
      B              F#     B
But a jealous father ran me down
F#                      C#m
Left me in the road for dead
   G#m        D#m      G#m
So I decided there and then
    G#m               D#m    G#m
I’d find the car, I’d take revenge
        B               F#         B
But the fire caught the house and fields
  F#                          C#m
I haven’t slept a whole night since


[Chorus]

        E              F#    G#m
And I’m on the side of wrong again
    E             F#      G#m
I’m on the wrong side my friend
     E            F#
Whichever way the wind is blowing
   B                C# 
No matter where the river bends
    E/C#           F#     G#m
I’m on the side of wrong again
    E/C#           F#     G#m
I’m on the side of wrong again


[Verse 3]

  G#m                 D#m      G#m
I ran three years and finally stopped
G#m             D#m     G#m
Cut my hair and found a job
B            F#   B
Working in a road café
F#                      C#m
Sleeping in the parking lot
G#m                D#m       G#m
Late one night the store was robbed
    G#m            D#m     G#m
The owner dead his boy was shot
    B            F#      B
And I’m the only one he sold
    Fm                               C#m
Now I’m waiting for the trap door to drop


[Chorus]

        E              F#     G#m
And I’m on the side of wrong again
    E            F#       G#m
I’m on the wrong side my friend
     E            F#
Whichever way the wind is blowing
   B                 C#
No matter where the river bends
    E/C#            F#    G#m  
I’m on the side of wrong again
    E/C#            F#    G#m
I’m on the side of wrong again
    E/C#            F#    G'm
I’m on the side of wrong again
