Frequently Wrong But Never In Doubt by Cheryl Wheeler

I remember when George used to come to our house
Dsus4DG
For a meeting of one of his clubs
Cadd9
He would often drive down, 'cause we lived close to town
Dsus4DG
Where the pulse of the big business was
Cadd9
He belonged to the Yacht Club, the Truckers, the Shriners
Dsus4DG
Though he had no boat and no rig
Cadd9
Still, he'd eat roast beef dinners and hobnob with winners
Dsus4DG
And wait 'til he hit something big
CGD
But before he could get that big fish on the line
CGAmD
They let everyone in and ruined the Shrine
GC
And he was easily riled and likely to shout
DGCG
Frequently wrong, but never in doubt
Cadd9
His friends called him Skippy, but he had no family
Dsus4DG
'Til my mother's folks took him in
Cadd9
Just a short blond and wavy, boy from the navy
Dsus4DG
And he never left home again
CGD
How he married Agnes, oh, I'll never know
CGAmD
She was gracious and gentle and she loved him so
GC
And he was grand in her eyes when they would go out
DGCG
And frequently wrong, but never in doubt
Bridge:
AmGC
Oh, I guess he had a big time
DAmDC
Sharing the secret symbol
AmGC
With masters elect of the night
DAmDGCDG
Down at the Boumi Temple
Cadd9
Well, I guess he was crazy, I think he was lonely
Dsus4DG
My mother was his best friend
Cadd9
He hollered and cried the day that she died
Dsus4DG
And I rarely saw him again
CGD
And I guess I've forgotten since I was a kid
CGAmD
I don't know why we loved him, I just know we did
GC
And he was easily riled, likely to shout
DGCG
Frequently wrong, but never in doubt
