Chords for IDTTYWLM - Loudon Wainwright III

_ _ _ _ Thanks a lot. _
[Ab] Okay, here's the deal.
My best friend in the whole world, in New York, where I live, which is my world,
is a guy named George, and he's married to a woman named Susan,
and I wrote this song that I'm going to do for you all now for George and Susan.
_ _ _ And they come and see me play it when I play in New York, and _ it's great.
But they're not here. _ _
They're in New York.
_ _ _ So I had this great idea.
I picked two people from the studio audience.
Can we see these kids over here?
_ There they are.
They look happy, don't they?
_ _ They're going to pretend to be George and Susan.
It's a great idea, huh?
_ _ _ It's an okay idea.
[G] _ _ _ _ _
But here it goes.
Oh yeah, and another thing is, 8th Avenue in New York is kind of like the Soho district here in London.
_ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ Don't be [G] nervous. _
_ _ _ _ _ I don't think that your wife likes [Em] me.
_ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I don't [B] think that your wife [Em] likes me.
_ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Ab] _
Why do you suppose that that is?
[D] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] I don't know. _ _
[Em] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
Maybe it's because we go [Em] drinking. _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [G] Together. _ _
Yeah, maybe it's because you and I go drinking together, George.
Right.
_ _ _ _ _ [C] And on occasion, _ _ _ [D] _ _
[G] we're taking an off _ -Broadway _ _
[Em] _ _ _ [Abm] _ shower.
[D] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[E] Or maybe it's because I'm famous. _ _ _
Yeah.
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Abm] Maybe Susan's just a little bit [Bm] jealous.
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
Or maybe it's [Abm] because I was [D] married, _ and now _ _ [G] I'm divorced.
I'm available, folks.
[D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Abm] On the [Em] telephone, she sounds so hostile.
_ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ [G] On _ [Ab] the telephone, she sounds so [Em] hostile to me.
_ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ And when I see her, [E] _ that _ _
[G] _ smile, she flashes me.
It's kind of forced.
_ _ Check [D] it out. _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[Em] Make it louder.
[G] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Abm] _
Anyway, I don't [E] think that _ _ your wife likes [G] me.
_ I _ [Abm]
don't think that your wife likes me. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] I'm famous, and she's jealous.
[D] _ _ _
[Ab] And she probably thinks _ [G] I'm full of crap.
_ [Em] _ _ [D] _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Pretty good, Sue.
_ _ _ _ _ I don't think that your wife [Em] trusts me.
_ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ [G] _ I [E] don't think that your wife trusts [Em] you.
_ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] She thinks [E] I'll take you out to _ [D] 8th Avenue _ to [G] _ catch the_ _ _ _
_ _ Clap [D] your _ hands.
_ _ _ [G] _ [Ab] I don't [Abm] think that your wife likes me.
I don't [Em] care. _
_ _ [G] _ [Abm] I don't think that your wife likes me.
I detest your wife.
_ [Em] _ _ [Ab] Why do you suppose that that is?
[D] _ _ _ [G] _ [D] _ _
[G] I don't know. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Thank you, Larren. _
A truly groin-felt experience. _
_ _ _ Thank you, and the audience, too.
