"Me and all the Other Mothers" by Loudon Wainwright Chords and lyrics written out by David Heggie (texdh@bonaly.hw.ac.uk) ===================================================================== This song's really pretty easy - the verses are all just C G and D repeated quickly (I've put them on the first verse below - after that it's just more of the same). The recording of this song that I've got is from some radio session or other, so I don't know how like the record it is, but on this one he plays quite quickly, and it's all fairly loose (no fancy picking or anything - just strum, strum, strum).
Also on the D chords, he adds Dsus4 every now and then (it seems like he plays it when he feels like, so I'd do the same if I were you). C G D Me and all the ... C G D We hang around the ...
