Frequently Wrong But Never In Doubt by Cheryl Wheeler

GC
I remember when George used to come to our house
DDG
For a meeting of one of his clubs
C
He would often drive down, 'cause we lived close to town
DDG
Where the pulse of the big business was
C
He belonged to the Yacht Club, the Truckers, the Shriners
DDG
Though he had no boat and no rig
C
Still, he'd eat roast beef dinners and hobnob with winners
DDG
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
C
His friends called him Skippy, but he had no family
DDG
'Til my mother's folks took him in
C
Just a short blond and wavy, boy from the navy
DDG
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
C
Well, I guess he was crazy, I think he was lonely
DDG
My mother was his best friend
C
He hollered and cried the day that she died
DDG
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
