Verse 1:
   C majorC        G/BG/B
When I was just sixteen
    A minorAm      C/GC/G
I stood waiting for a dream
  FF          G+G        C majorC  F/CF/C C majorC
At Barker's Street bus station every night

    C majorC        G/BG/B
When I tried to get it on
      A minorAm         C/GC/G
She just looked at me with scorn
  FF          G+G        C majorC  F/CF/C C majorC
My courage turned to fear and I took flight

Chorus:
     A minorAm           FF
For those looks, they seemed to say
     G+G      C majorC
You ain't nothin', go away
    G/BG/B  A minorAm  C/GC/G  FF
You're just a face in the crowd
   G+G        C majorC
So I went home and I vowed
     FF C/EC/E Dm7Dm7    C majorC   F/CF/C C majorC F/CF/C
I'm gonna be somebody, someday

Verse 2:
  C majorC        G/BG/B
Her name was Irene Wilde
      A minorAm      C/GC/G
Oh, such beauty for a child
     FF        G+G        C majorC  F/CF/C C majorC
When she started dating boys, I nearly died

   C majorC          G/BG/B
For I could not barely stand
    A minorAm        C/GC/G
Seeing anyone hold her hand
 FF        G+G        C majorC  F/CF/C C majorC
I felt I had to crawl away and hide

Chorus:
     A minorAm       FF
In my mother's sunny room
   G+G       C majorC
I composed so many tunes
     G/BG/B   A minorAm  C/GC/G  FF
They were all the same, just a frame
   G+G        C majorC
For a name and just to say
     FF C/EC/E Dm7Dm7    C majorC
I'm gonna be somebody, someday

Bridge:
A#A#      FF
Wilde is your name
    G+G         C majorC
As you left that country town
   G/BG/B   A minorAm   C/GC/G    FF
I'd been around, I'd seen some fame
       G+G          C majorC
I'd seen some ups, I'd seen some downs

A#A#         FF
Smile through your shock
     G+G          C majorC
When you hear your name aloud
G/BG/B    A minorAm  C/GC/G  FF
It's that face in the crowd
       G+G         C majorC
I didn't dig it, I'm much too proud

Instrumental:
C majorC F/CF/C C majorC F/CF/C C majorC F/CF/C C majorC F/CF/C

Verse:
   C majorC        G/BG/B
When I was just sixteen
    A minorAm      C/GC/G
I stood waiting for that dream
  FF          G+G         C majorC  F/CF/C C majorC
At Barker's Street bus station, non-affair

   C majorC           G/BG/B
At the time, it seem ed so sad
    A minorAm       C/GC/G
But it didn't turn out bad
    FF         G+G        C majorC  F/CF/C C majorC
If she hadn't turned me down, I'd still be there

Chorus:
      A minorAm         FF
You know, I think those folks agree
       G+G         C majorC
A augmentedA little put-down makes them see
   G/BG/B   A minorAm   C/GC/G       FF
They ain't no chain; they're just the link
      G+G         C majorC
And that's why she made me think
     FF C/EC/E Dm7Dm7  FF C/EC/E Dm7Dm7
I'm gonna be somebody, be somebody
FF C/EC/E Dm7Dm7    C majorC
Be somebody, someday
