- Subject: Louden Wainwright Im alright
-
- This one is off ôfame and wealthö (actually I only have one
- LWIII CD which is a two LP in one, so this is not surprising)
-
- Its called ôIm alrightö and its a blues parody. The chords are
- given. Louden plays around with it a bit playing different versions
- of the chords, which you could work otu, but I htink that defeats the
- point. Just play whatever you feel like at time.
-
- Incidentally Bob Brosman has written a song with the same joke
- called ôBackwards bluesö. If any one has that tab or even knows what
- tuning is in then Id be curious
-
- Here goes
-

- Im alright by Louden Wainwright III

- This song is a fast blues shuffle in E

- Woke up this morning, and I didnt feel that bad
- last night was definately not one of the worst I ever had,
- A
- ate some dinner,
- drank a few drinks,
- E
- didnt miss you baby, no matter what you think,
- B
- went back to my hotel room, went straight to bed,
- A
- I did not moan, I did not cry, I did not wish I was dead
- A E B A E (turnaround)
- Im alright, Im alright, Im alright without you.

- Woke up this morning and I didnt have the blues,
- So I pulled on my tube socks, laced up my running shoes,
- A
- went to the resevoir to jog a mile or two
- E
- I didnt think about our love and I wasnt missing you,
- B
- went back to the hotel room,
- I took a few phone calls,
- A
- clean sheets on a made up bed,
- and art works on the walls
-
- Im alright, Im alright without you.
-
- E
- I woke up this afternoon, and I sat up in my bed,
- There was a knorring in my gut and a pounding inmy head,
- A
- So I went to the bathroom, to the medicine chest,
- E
- there was razor blades and sleeping pills and all the rest,
- B
- but I was in control baby, I was so relaxed,
- A
- I found my self my dental floss, my favorite kind unwaxed !
-
- Im alright without you.....
-
-
- And thats it....
