He Said, She Said

Loudon Wainwright III

#From: sdavitt@vnet.ibm.com
#
#It is transcribed from a TV performance on 'Loudon & Co' transmitted
#13 July 1994 here in the UK.
#
#It was played with a capo at the second fret and using barre chords for
#the C#m A and B. The A and B chords are played with the E-shape at the 7th
#and 9th frets. (? due to the capo?). The C#m is played with an A-minor-shape
#at the 4th fret.
#
#There is only one slight complication which I will try and explain which
#is marked in the text as 'C Riff' because I don't know how else to describe
#it.
#
#He starts with a normal three fingered C chord but emphasising the 5th string
#and using a little progression down to the 6th string before the next chord
#which is the E or B.

#So for example the sequence is:

#Please do not talk softly. When carr y ing your stick
#
#Had I known how difficult this was going to be to explain I may never
#have started :-) Anyway here we go. Hope you like it.
