Chords for Reno Dakota

Another day, another love song.
You know, for those of us in the not-straight persuasion,
there really are not a lot of love songs about us.
I mean, think about it.
Pop songs, folk songs,
the vast majority of those are about straight relationships.
And don't get me started on theater music.
I mean, that tradition of straight love songs goes back to Gilbert and Sullivan.
[D] He sip no [A] sup and he crave no [Eb] crumb as [A] he sighed for the [D] love of a [N] man.
Just doesn't have the same ring to it, does it?
Lucky for us, though,
there are songwriters alive today who are creating entertaining, fun songs about same-sex relationships.
I'm gonna sing one of those for you today.
My favorite of those songwriters probably is Stephen Merritt, and he wrote a song a while back called
Reno Dakota, which is about a crush he had on a boy who didn't love him back.
I'm gonna play it for you today using my new toy.
What do you think of this?
It's called a strum stick.
It's got a nice banjo-y sound.
This is a great song to learn when you're learning a new [B] instrument because it only has six notes.
_ [G] Here we go. _ _ _ _ _ _
Reno Dakota, there's not an iota of [D] kindness in you.
You know you enthrall me and yet you don't call me.
You're [G] making me blue.
_ _ Pantone 292.
_ _ _ _ Reno Dakota, I'm reaching my quota of tears [D] for the year.
Alas and alack, you just don't call me back.
You have just disappeared.
[G] _
_ It makes me drink beer. _ _
I know you're a recluse.
You know that's no excuse.
Renew, it's [D] just a ruse.
[G] Do not play fast and loose with my heart.
_ _ Reno Dakota, I'm noting a rota.
I [D] don't know the score.
Have I annoyed you or is there a boy who, well, [G] he's just a whore.
_ I've had him before.
It makes me drink more. _ _ _ _
