Well, during the past two or three years now, I must have seen Loudon Wainwright at least half a dozen times.
And I think I enjoy him more each time I do.
He seems to me a marvellous man.
And it's a great pleasure to have him join us on the programme tonight.
His first song is called Reciprocity.
So here is [C] Loudon Wainwright.
[G]
[A] [Gm] [D] [C]
[G] They got drunk [A] last night
[C] Had a knock-down, [G] drag-out [Am] fight
She [D] was [G] determined and he saw it [D] his way
He threw [G] a tantrum and she threw an [E] ashtray
[C] They [G] got drunk [A] [G] [D] last [C] night
[G] How's this [Am] for a how-do-you-do?
[C] He's [G] unfaithful, she is [A] untrue
[Am] [D] [Gm] [D] They're their [G] own masters and they're their own bosses
[D] They reserve the right to [G]
employ double-crosses
[C] [G] How's this for [A] a fine [G] [D] how-do-you-do?
[C]
[G] You'd need a [Am] chair and a whip
To [C] control [G] their [Am] relationship
Once [D] they were [G] lovers and practically best friends
[D] Now [Gm] he's [D] into [G] bondage and she's into [C] revenge
[G] You would need a [A] chair [G] [D] and a [C] whip
And [G] if one of them should [Am] die
[C] I suppose [G] that the other would [Am] cry
[D] [Gm] [D] There would be tears [G] of sorrow and great grief
[D] Or else there would [G] be tears of release and [C] relief
[G] If one of them
[A] [G] [D] should die
[C]
And I think I enjoy him more each time I do.
He seems to me a marvellous man.
And it's a great pleasure to have him join us on the programme tonight.
