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
