Reciprocity chords by Loudon Wainwright
Guitar chords with lyrics
This is tabbed from a live version performed on the BBC TV show 'The Old Grey Whistle
Test' in 1977 (footage of which I found on YouTube). The song first appeared on the 1976
album 'T-shirt'.
G/B = x20010
Am7/G = 302010
D7sus4/F# = 200213
C G/B Am
They got drunk last night
C G/B Am
Had a knockdown, drag-out fight
D G
She was determined and he saw it his way
D G
He threw a tantrum and she threw an ashtray
C G/B Am Am7/G D7sus4/F#
They got drunk last night
How's this for a "How do you do?" He's unfaithful, she's untrue They're their own masters and they're their own bosses They reserve the right to employ double crosses How's this for a fine "How do you do?" You'd need a chair and a whip To control their relationship Once they were lovers and practically best friends Now he's into bondage and she's into revenge You would need a chair and a whip And if one of them should die I suppose that the other would cry There would be tears of sorrow and great grief Or else there would be tears of release and relief
