I made a mistake Lord, I thought I was wrong,

I'm a lot like ol' Ripley, on "Believe It Or Not",
  F          C                   G
I told a big lie Lord and then I forgot,
C         F     C         F              C
I thought I was Jesus and believe me I'm not,
          C                     D7         G
I thought I was right and I was wrong by a lot,
         C                             F
I feel a little like Elvis when he was alone,
       C                      G             C
I made another mistake Lord,I thought I was wrong.
