Wainwright Loudon - Im Alright guitar chord

Subject: Louden Wainwright Im alright

This one is off “fame and wealth” (actually I only have one

LWIII CD which is a two LP in one, so this is not surprising)

Its called “Im alright” 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 “Backwards blues”. 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

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.

E

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....
