When I was just sixteen I stood waiting for a dream
F G C F
At Barker Street Bus Station every night
C G Am Em
When I tried to get it on she just looked at me with scorn
F G C F C
My courage turned to fear and I took flight
Am F G C
For those looks they seemed to say you ain't nothin' go away
Am F G C
You're just some face in some crowd so I walked home and I vowed
F C F C F C F
I'm gonna be somebody someday
C G Am Em
Her name was Irene Wilde Oh such beauty for a child
F G C F
When she started dating boys I nearly died
C G Am Em
Well I could not barely stand seeing anyone hold her hand
F G C F C
I thought I'd have to crawl away and hide
Am F G C
In my mother's Sunday room I'd compose so many tunes
Am F G C
They was all the same just a frame for the name and just to say
F C F C
I'm gonna be somebody someday
Am F G C
Wild was your name, I soon left that country town
Am F
I've been around, I've seen some things,
G C
I've seen some ups, I've seen some downs
Am F G C
Smile through your shock as you hear your name outloud
Am F
I's that face in the crowd
G C
I didn't dig it I'm much too proud
C G Am Em
When I was just sixteen I stood waiting for that dream
F G C F
At Barker street bus station non-affair

At the time it seemed so sad but it didn't turn out bad
F G C F C
if she hadn't turned me down I'd still be there
