Title: Right Place Wrong Time (1973)
[Verse 1]
Em7
I been in the /right place._
Bm7 A
but it must have been the /wrong ti._me
Em7
Ida said the right thi - ng
Bm7 A
but I musta used the wrong /line
Em7
I been on the right trip
Bm7 A
but I musta used the wrong car
Em7
head is in a bad place
Bm7 A
and I wonder what is good for
Em7
I been in the RIGHT PLA-CE
Bm7 A
but it musta been the wro - ng time
Em7
MY HeAD is in a BAD PLA -CE
Bm7 A
but I have such good times
[Chorus 1]
(N.C)
I been running .. (trying) keep hung up in my mind (oooohhhh)
(N.C)
giddy-de-got to give myself a good talking - to this time
(N.C)
justa need a little brain salad surgery (oooooooooooooh)
(N.C)
gota cure a my insecurity
[Verse 2]
Em7
I been in the WRONG place
Bm7 A
but it musta been the right time
Em7
I been in the right place
Bm7 A
But it musta been the wrong song
Em7
I been in the right vein
Bm7 A
but it seemed like the wrong arm
Em7
I been in the right world
Bm7
but it seemed like a
A E
wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong
[Instrumental]
[Chorus 2]
(N.C)
Slippin dodging sneaking creeping hiding out down the street (oooohhhh)
(N.C)
See my life shakin with every who I meet
(N.C)
Refried confusion is a making itself clear (ooooh)
(N.C)
What a which where’d I go
A
To get on out a here
[Verse 3]
Em7
But I been in the right place
Bm7 A
but it musta been the wrong time
Em7
and Ida said the right thing
Bm7 A
but I musta used the wrong line
Em7
Ida hit the right road
Bm7 A
but I musta took a wrong turn
Em7
Id took a right move
Bm7 A
but I made at the wrong time
Em7
I been in the right trip
Bm7 A
but I made in the wrong call
Em7
head was in a good place
Bm7 A
and I wonder what its there for
(Jam it out)
Notes:
[Instrumental - Modulate and jam it out … consider jumping to F#m7 in the instrumental]
(N.C) You want to bring it down here, to create some tension and allow the chorus to have more power.
(N.C) So just riff on the bass E and 5th fret position pentatonics
You've got to carry both the bass and the rhythm here when playing acoustic, so make use of your open E and A
Some alternate chords you can use to riff on.
