Tuning:

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

^EWoke up this morning, and I didnt feel that bad last night was definately not one of the worst I ever had, ^Aate some dinner, drank a few drinks, ^Edidnt miss you baby, no matter what you think, ^Bwent back to my hotel room, went straight to bed, ^AI did not moan, I did not cry, I did not wish I was dead ^AIm alright, ^EIm alright, ^BIm alright ^Awithout yo^Eu.
(turnaround)

^EWoke up this morning and I didnt have the blues, So I pulled on my tube socks, laced up my running shoes, ^Awent to the resevoir to jog a mile or two ^EI didnt think about our love and I wasnt missing you, ^Bwent back to the hotel room, I took a few phone calls, ^Aclean sheets on a made up bed, and art works on the walls

Im alright, Im alright without you.

^EI woke up this afternoon, and I sat up in my bed, There was a knorring in my gut and a pounding inmy head, ^ASo I went to the bathroom, to the medicine chest, ^Ethere was razor blades and sleeping pills and all the rest, ^Bbut I was in control baby, I was so relaxed, ^AI found my self my dental floss, my favorite kind unwaxed !

Im alright without you..... And thats it....
