14th April 2014
I think John Martyn played this in his favourite
open tuning of CFCCGD and added a capo at the 2nd fret.
The version below is much easier to get to from standard tuning,
and back again, without having to alter every single string.
6 5 4 3 2 1
Open tuning: D A D G A D
Tune 1st and 6th strings down to match the 4th string
Tune 2nd string down to match 5th string
Dm7 = 053500
Am11 = x02030
G4 = 555555
Bb6add9 = x13030
D6sus4 = 055400
The second half of the song is improvised.

Well, it was alright before... I walked through the door,

I was alright outside, but inside ...I had to cry!
Dm7Low today and G4high tomorrow, Dm7 I see that it's Am11real,
Dm7One man's meat's a - nG4other man's sorrow!
Dm7 Am11 Bb6add9
Do you know how it feels... to be dead drunk on the floor,
To get Am11up ...to ask for more,
Bb6add9 Am11
To be lying in the dark... cry-----ing?
IfDm7 I can't be a pG4eaceful man, I wDm7ill be who I Am11can,
If Dm7I can't get every - thG4ing I want, I'll jDm7ust get what I Am11can, hoo!
Bb6add9 Am11
Oh, it was alright before... you walked out the door,
Bb6add9 Am711
I was alright inside, but outside...
...I had to look a - gDm7ain, again, a - Am11gain, again!
