Chords for "Right Or Wrong"

Doug Dietrich · Post by **Doug Dietrich** » 1 Aug 2000 7:16 pm

I don't have a recording of the Bob Wills song Right or Wrong. I need to play the tune next week and don't know it well enough to figure out the chord progressions. Can anybody help?

There is a 2 note pick-up. Hope this helps.

PS Doug, the tune is very similar to "ANYTIME". Whenever I play either one of them if I'm not careful I wind up switching songs somewhere along the line.

Glad to hear you say that Jim, I do exactly the same thing. I thought maybe I was the only one that switched the two songs. Thanks for sharing that.

You can find a lot of songs at the Cowpie website:

http://www.roughstock.com/cowpie/songs/

You will need to know the name of the artist.
Choose the artist and the songs are then listed in alphabetical order. [This message was edited by Steve Benzian on 01 August 2000 at 09:55 PM.]

I hope this helps and getting the band that isn't really a Western Swing band to play the right chords is tuff; but just simplify these chords to the 7th should get you by just fine.
<pre>
Right or Wrong/key of G/ chord progression
(4 beats per measure)
|E+ E+ E+ E+|A7 A7 A7 A7|D7 D7 D7 D7|G G G G|

|Bm7 Bm7 Bm7 Bbdim|D D D D|A7 A7 A7 A7|D7 D7 D7 D7|

|E+ E+ E+ E+|A7 A7 A7 A7|D7 D7 D7 D7|B9 B9 B9 E9|

|E7+ E7+ E7+ E7+|A7 A7 A7 A7|G6 G6 Am7 D13|G6
</pre>

Oh I see I got beat to the punch; thanks guys, great info and that should really help you out a bunch Doug and Jim layed it out nicely.

Thanks a lot guys for the quick response. I had looked at my George Strait recordings for the song but had forgotten to look on the box set of his greatest hits (da!). So now I just have to figure out the great C6 solo - - should be fun.

?? For Ricky & Jim---
Jim- You start with the chord "E+7",
and Ricky, you just say "E+".
What does the "+" designate, and why is the
"7" added in Jim's post?
Thanks in advance,

Dino, the + indicates an augmented chord. Using the 7th is just a matter of taste. To me it sounds a little jazzier is all.

Also the chord that follows the E+ is an A7, so using the 7th leads your ear to it's resolution, which is the A chord.

Either way you play it will sound fine, it's just a matter of what sounds best to you.
