The Other Guy – Little River Band Someone saw my Tab for Night Owls by LRB and asked if I knew where 'The Other Guy' could be found. I looked around but again couldn’t find it, so, unaccustomed as I am, I’ve had a bash at interpreting it - especially in view of the title - thought I had to have a go. Hope it seems vaguely close and helps you out! Happy to have any constructive feedback! Tabbed by: David Guy, Bisley, Surrey, England, UK (david_guy@hotmail.com) F Fc(cut) D5 Bb C (*) C (*alternative) G |e----1--------X---------X--------1--------3--------0------------------3| |B----1--------X---------X--------3--------5--------1------------------0| |G----2--------2---------2--------3--------5--------0------------------0| |D----3--------3---------0--------3--------5--------2------------------0| |A----3--------3---------0--------1--------3--------3------------------2| |E----1--------X---------X--------1--------3--------X------------------3| To me, the beginning, that wonderful 2 part driving beat sounds like it’s dominated by the bass guitar in the actual version, and so I feel this 3 finger plucked Fc D5 is the best interpretation from an acoustic/rhythm guitar. If you’re an advanced player, play this then make the tricky change to Bb….... For mere mortals** – just play F instead of Fc D5. (PS – there is no such chord as Fc – I’ve just made that one up. – for the purists, it is still technically an F as it has the 1,3 and 5 in it – so to distinguish it from the full 6 string strum F, I’ve called it Fc. ) ** Or try one of the following: Put a Capo on Fret 1 and substitute: E shape for F A shape for Bb B shape for C (ie barred on the actual 3rd fret A shape) F# shape for G (ie barred on the 3rd fret E shape) or easier still, put a capo on Fret 3 and substitute: D shape for F G shape for Bb A shape for C (ie barred on the actual 3rd fret A shape) E shape for G (ie barred on the 3rd fret E shape) Intro Fc Fc D5 Fc Fc D5 Fc Fc D5 Fc Fc D5 Verse: Fc Fc D5 Fc Fc D5 Fc Fc D5 Fc Fc D5 I found out that you care for another guy Fc Fc D5 Fc Fc D5 Fc Fc D5 Fc Fc D5 I found out that you want for another smile Bb (Fc Fc D5) We are alone as two different people can be

And it's ^Churting me so just to ^Bbknow Fc Fc D5 That you don't care for me

---------------------------------------------------------------- Chorus: ------

The other ^Bbguy won't be around to talk to our kids He won't under^Fstand when you're

down the way that I did

We had it ^Bball you and I We just need to try a^Cgain

----------------------------------------------------------------- Fc Fc D5 Fc Fc D5 Fc Fc D5 Fc Fc D5 I found out that your hearts with another guy Fc Fc D5 Fc Fc D5 Fc Fc D5 Fc Fc D5 You found out that you're telling another lie

^BbWe've come apart We're going our own separate ways And you ^Cdon't understand why I love you And ^Bbwant you to ^Fstay...

Chorus
