[Verse 1]
[C]I received an invitati[F]on to her[C] party.
[G]She[C] sent her love and said,
dress [G]formally.
Please be [Dm]ready an[G]d waiting a[C]t seven.
An[G]d she would s[Dm]end her chauffeur
[G]over after me.[C]
So I had to rent a [F]tux and
paint [C]carnations,
and I showed up acting socially,
[G]but she said
[F]But she hadn't sent m[G]e an invitati[C]on
And [F]everybody [G]had a laugh on [C]me
So I said, home, James, home, James
Drive me as fast as you [G]can
Home, James, home, James,
you picked up the wrong [C]man[G][C]
Riding [G]home
I [F]felt so disappoin[C]ted
I was all dressed up to have
myself a [G]time[D][G]
They [F]laughed and joked and [G]cried,
oh how [C]funny
When they [F]found her lover's name
[G]was just like min[C]e
So I said, home James, home James
Drive me as fast [Am]as you ca[G]n
Oh James,
Oh James, you picked up the wrong [C]man
Oh James,
Oh James, drive me as fast as you [G]can
[D]Oh [G]James,
Oh James, you picked up
the wrong [C]man [F]you[G][C]
