Chords with lyrics
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
