In C chords by Loudon Wainwright Iii

Chords with lyrics

The cycle of chords repeats every 3 verses. (Basically each end that says "sing in c" is the
G+G - FF - C majorC one!)

Here is a video of my version to prove that it works!

C majorC         FF   G+G
Here's another song in C.
C majorC          FF   G+G
When I play piano, it's my key.
A minorAm          FF
If I was playing my guitar,
A minorAm             G+G
I'd probably be in G, the chances are.

C majorC         FF  G+G
Here is another song in C.
C majorC        FF     G+G
With my favorite protagonist - me.
A minorAm          FF
Of my little world I'll tell & show.
A minorAm          G+G
I'll sing about it so you'll know.

C majorC          FF     G+G
When people in it break my heart,
C majorC            FF   G+G
Then my little world can fall apart.
A minorAm            FF
And there's not a thing I can do,
G+G        FF    C majorC
Except to sing in C majorC to you.

There used to be a family.
Brother, sisters, father, mother and me.
We were living in a little home.
We were fending off the great unknown.

But the great unknown it got inside.
And what had been whole, it did divide.
In the end father had to leave.
When he did the mother had to grieve.

That's the time when real troubles start.
It's when a world can fall apart.
And there's not a thing I can do,
Except to sing in C majorC to you.

I grew up and had a family.
And it broke apart so easily.
All that started thirty years ago.
Why it's never ending I don't know.

I could blame on the great unknown
Or as a kid what I was told and shown.
But I blame myself and I blame her.
The cruel & foolish people that were

And the children that we had are grown
They're out fending off their great unknown
And I've noticed they are a little bit like me
With a tendency to sing in C majorC

So by now is clear to hear and know.
I dont play a lot of piano
But sometimes a fellow has to sit
Just to sing about the heavy shit

And the great unknowns a hurricane
With howling winds, & floods, & driving rain.
You might make it through but you dont know
If right behind it there's a tornado.

And if families didn't break apart
I suppose they don't need for art
But you and I know they do
