I did one of my mom's songs before,
and now I'm gonna do one of my dad's songs,
The Great Loudon Wainwright III,
and I'm gonna sing it with Teddy Thompson over here,
and also my dear friend, Cherise Blackman
will sing it with me.
So let's folk out, let's folk off here.
Here we go.
[E]
People will know when they see this show
the kind [B] of a guy [E] I am.
They'll recognize just what I stand for
and [A] what I just can't [B] stand.
[A] They'll perceive what [B] I believe in
[A] and what I know is [B] true.
[E] And they'll recognize I'm a one man guy
[A] always was through [B] and through.
And [E] people meditate, well that's just [A] great,
trying to find a new [E]
you.
People depend on family and [A] friends
and other folks [B] to pull them through.
