Loudon Wainwright III (born September 5, 1946 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina) is an American songwriter, folk singer, humorist, and actor. He is the father of Rufus Wainwright and Martha Wainwright , children of his marriage to the late Kate McGarrigle.  A graduate of St. Andrew's School, Wainwright is best known for a 1972 novelty song hit Dead Skunk (In The Middle Of The Road), with pianist Teddy Wender and for playing Captain Spalding (the &quot;singing surgeon&quot;) on three episodes of the American television show M*A*S*H in its third season (1974-1975), but his musical reputation is much deeper.

Am                      E
The dollar went down, and the President said:
Am                      E
"Who's in charge, now?" I don't know, take your pick.
Am                              E
A new disease every day and the old ones are coming back.
Am                              E
Things are looking kind of gray, like they're going to black.

Am                           E
Don't turn on the TV, don't show me them papers.
Am                                      E
Don't want to know he got kidnapped, or why they all raped her.
Am                                E
I want to go on vacation till the pressure lets up,
Am                                    E
But they keep hijacking airplanes and blowing them up.

Chorus:
           F               Am
Its been a hard day on the planet
C          E        Am
How much is it all worth?
            F               Am
Its getting harder to understand it
C                   E        Am
Things are tough all over on earth.

chords repeat 

Its hot in December and cold in July
When it rains it pours out of a poisonous sky
In California the body counts keep getting higher
Its evil out there, man that state is always on fire.


Everyone has a system, but they can't seem to win
Even Bob Geldorf looks alarmingly thin
I got to get on that shuttle get me out of this place
But there's gonna be warfare up there in outer space

(chorus)

I've got clothes on my back, and shoes on my feet...
A roof over my head, and something to eat...
My kids are all healthy and my folks are alive...
You know, it's amazing but sometimes I think I'll survive.


I've got all of my fingers and all of my toes...
I'm pretty well off I guess, I suppose...
So how come I feel bad so much of the time?
A man ain't an island, John Dunn wasn't lying.

(chorus)

It's business as usual; some things never change
It's unfair, it's tough, unkind and it's strange
We don't seem to learn; we can't seem to stop
Maybe some explosions would close up the shop


You know, maybe that would be fine; we would be off the hook.
We resolved all our problems, never mind what it took.
And it all would be over, finito, the end!
...until the survivors started up all over again!

Its been a hard day on the planet
How much is it all worth to you?
Its getting harder to understand it,
Things are tough all over on earth, it's true.

Its been a hard day on the planet
How much is it all worth to you?
Its getting harder to understand it,
Things are tough all over on earth, it's true.

On a moonlit night, you got your dead toad frog.

You got your dead rabbit and your dead raccoon.

Dead Shunk In The Middle Of The Road

C                   Csus4
Drunk men stagger, drunk men fall
C                  Csus4
Drunk men swear & that's not all
Em                               C
Quite often drunks will urinate outdoors
C                   Csus4
Like widowed women drunk men weep
C                       Csus4
Like children curled up drunk men sleep
Em                                        C
Like a dog a drunk will crawl about on all fours
F
Be it broke bum or rich rake
     Fm
His dinner be it bread or cake 
       F
His beverage be the worst of whiskey, finest wine
C                 Csus4
Puke it stinks & so it seems
C                  Csus4
A drunkard goes to great extremes
Em                                          C
But there has yet to be a perfectly straight line
                                                                              
Drunks are strong & drunks are weak
It's easy for a drunk to speak
Straight from the heart
Drunks will fight, their not afraid
They'll kiss the mistress & make the maid
Oh, but it's a manly art
But it takes it toll on blood vessels & from there it will raise
Bags beneath the eyes & other signs
Drunks get ugly so it seems & drunks will go to great extremes
But there has yet to be a perfectly straight line.

Drunks are friendly when they're drunk
And drunks are hostile when they're drunk
Which drunk it is it all depends upon
When drunk men drink they thirst they thirst for drink
Their elephants are grey not pink
When the drink evaporates the man is gone, gone, gone
Back to the flats & the subway cars
To the hipflasks & the fruit jars
Flat on thier face & flat on their backs
Drunks get drunk & so it seems 
That drunks will go to great extremes
But there has yet to be a perfectly straight line

Drinking Song

C            
She's been on her feet nearly half the damn night
Am
Bringing you beverage and your late night bite
F
She remains cheerful when you're nasty and tight
G
Makes change for a fifty in dim candlelight.
C
Ignoring your groping hoping you might
Am                                                    F  G
Come across with a tip and sympathize with her plight.
         C
Tip that waitress.

Shes getting her masters supporting her mom
Amidst the confusion she remains cool and calm
She knows exits in case of a fire or bomb
She knows all the words to the 23rd psalm
She handles her tray with panache and aplomb
Her brothers a Quaker, her dad was in Naa-aaa-aaa-aam
Tip that waitress.

Bridge 1
Em
Tip that waitress,
          C
She's been waiting on you.
Em
Skip the small change,
             G
Slap down a dollar or two.

Her arches are aching, her lower backs shot
Her varicose vein hurts like hell when its hot
Her uniform's too tight, tasteful its not
She knows the specials and they are not a lot.
The cook is on Qualudes the bus boy deals pot
If she had a real job she'd quit on the spot
So tip that waitress.



This plea for gratuity's gone on way too long,
Theres a time and a place where them things belong
The stage ain't a soap box, this is only a song,
To dwell on the matter much more would be wrong.
And people get by, she'll get along
But I think she gets off when I come on
Stro--ooo-ooo- ong
So tip that waitress.

Bridge 2 
Tip that waitress,
She's been waiting on you.
Skip the small change,
Slap down a fiver or two.

She's been on her feet nearly half the damn night
Bringing you beverage and your late night bite
She remains cheerful when you're nasty and tight
Makes change for a fifty in dim candlelight.
Ignoring your groping hoping you might
Come across with a tip and sympathize with her plight.
Tip that waitress.

Tip That Waitress

G		     Em
You left for camp, you left for school
Am		                 D
Left for the coast when that was cool then
G               Em
You left women, one a wife
Am		             D
To save your skin you wrecked a life and
Am		   C
then there's kids its not just one
G            		    D
life that you wreck you're on the run
Am		C
You go to town to start anew
G     		D
those you left come after you

G                    Em
Its what you think its how you feel
C		      D
though who can say if its all real
G                  Em
The darndest thing kids grow up
Am		           D
One day some strange adults show up
G                     Em
The ones you left are right in town
Am		        D
that's nice you say they'll be around
Am		C
perhaps they just a bit bereft but
G        		D
they'll forgive the one who left
Am		     C
sad stories can have happy ends
G        		D
perhaps now you can just be friends
G                     Em
Its what you want its how you feel
Am		          D
whats more you hope your theory's real


F		           C
Who would have thought or could believe
G         		D
Things go so badly when you leave
F		       C
the skin you saved is growing slack and
G        	      D
those you left don't want you back

G		     Em
Your power's gone it was pro tem
Am		         D
The wife you left meant more to them
G		       Em
Its not just that they side with her
Am		      D
you left and who knew where you were
Am		C
The reason that they came to town
G		      D
was just to make that place their own
Am		   C
You realised your greatest fear
G	             D
you are so close but hardly here
G      		           Em
It's what you think   it's how you feel
Am 		D
and what's worse is you know its real

When You Leave

As a daughter to a  daddy this song will make you weep.

Intro- C Em Am G F
C Am F
Hoy encuentro tu imagen en el mismo lugar
C Am F
como en sueños inciertos te estoy viendo llegar
C Am F
ya no hay luz de escena, ya no estas
C Am
me sorprende tu voz y nuestra
F
historia de amor, en la melodia
C Am F
soñamos con cambiar el dia, la oscuridad, la cancion
C Em Am G F
pero nunca supimos amar
C Em Am G F
Un amor que se murio no puede lastimar
C Em Am G F
nuestro amor que se perdio en el mar

Es de noche, hay silencio, necesito hablar
y una lluvia de invierno se quedo con mi soledad
el mundo podía desaparecer
mientras nuestra nabe volaba hacia nuevos lugares
buscabamos vida
tratamos de disimular, locura y propiedad
pero nunca supimos amar
un amor que se murio no puede lastimar
nuestro amor que se perdio en el mar

Malicia en tus sueños, me hacias volar
tu cuerpo y el mio guardaron secretos
y una rara armonia
Un amor que se murio no puede lastimar
si tu amor no se murio, por favor, donde esta?
Un amor que se murio no puede lastimar
nuestro amor que se perdio en el mar

Buscabamos vida

G      Em
I found a love for me
               C                         D
Darling just dive right in, and follow my lead
                G                 Em
Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet
          C                                  D
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

                                 G
Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
              Em                     C               G  D
Not knowing what it was, I will not give you up this ti-ime
                   G                         Em
But darling just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
             C                  D
And in your eyes you’re holding mine

       Em   C            G          D              Em
Baby, I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
C                G     D                Em
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
          C                G                 D              Em
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
         C                G        D             
But you heard it, darling you look perfect tonight

Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
                C                                        D
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I’ll share her home
           G             Em
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
         C                              D
To carry love, to carry children of our own

                              G                     Em 
We are still kids, but we’re so in love, fighting against all odds
                  C               G  D
I know that we’ll be alright this ti-ime
               G                            Em 
Darling just hold my hand, be my girl, I’ll be your man
          C              D
I see my future in your eyes



       Em   C            G          D              Em
Baby, I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms

I went to a party at the local county jail
D                                              G
All the cons were dancing and the men began to wail
        A                              G
But the guys were indiscrete they were balling in the street
       D                  A             D    A
At the local dance at the local county jail
D                                                 G
Well the band were playing and the booze began to flow
D                                         G
But the sound came over on the police car radio
A                            G
Down at Precinct 49 having a tear gas of a time
D                                  A                      D   A
Sergeant Baker got a call from the governor of the County Jail
 
Bm                                  G
load up load up load up with rubber bullets
Bm                               G
load up load up load up with rubber bullets
          Em                  A
I love to hear those convicts squeal
         Em                    A
It's a shame these slugs ain't real
       D                         A             D   A
But we can't have dancing at the local county jail

D                                                 G
Sergeant Baker and his men made a beeline for the jail
D                                              G
And for miles around you could hear the sirens wail
          A                                  G
There's a rumour going down death row that a fuse is going to blow
       D                A            D
At the local hop at the local county jail 
                                          Eb
What you gonna do about it what you gonna do

G   A   C   D

Sergeant Baker started talking with a bullhorn in his hand
Dm
He was cool he was clear he was he was always in command
        G                               Em      A
He said blood will flow here padre 
Em        F#m          G
Padre you talk to your boys
G        A  D   A    D   Eb  Em F#m  C
Trust in me God will come to set you free

D                                                       G
Well we don't understand why he called in the National Guard
D                                                     G
When Uncle Sam is the one who belongs in the exercise yard
A                   
We all got balls and brains
G
But some's got balls and chains
D                         A            D      A
At the local dance at the local county jail

Load up load up load up with rubber bullets

Load up load up load up with rubber bullets

Is it really such a crime for a guy to spend his time

At the local dance at the local county jail

At the local dance at the local county jail

Verse:

 Never ending symptoms in my head
            Gm             D
We lay hollow in the emptiness
            Gm                     Bm
I'm too tired to push you from the bed

 No more fighting for us



Chorus:
F       Gm      D#  A#
Feel the void in our bed
    F      Gm       D#   A#
The space between is deafening
   F       Gm      Dm    A#
Oh we don't bend or break it
    F      Gm       D#   A#
The space between is deafening

The space between is deafening



Verse:
D               Gm                    D
 No one's moving, we lack the courage to
                   Gm                  D
We lay in stalemate, wishing the other would
                   Gm                     Bm
But we're too tired, we're at the ember's core

 No more fighting

Dm            D#        A#
 Silence says more than words

 You become a prisoner

Space Between

C                        F 
Back in the old folky days
Am            Em              D
The air was magic when we played
C                                   F
The river boat was rocking in the rain
Am                Em            D
Midnight was the time for the raid
G
Oh Isabella, Proud Isabella
Am
They tore you down and plowed you under
Bm                             C
You're only real with your makeup on
G                 D
How could I see you and stay too long

C                        F
All along the Navaho Trail
Am                  Em                 D
burnouts stub their toes on garbage pails
C                          F
Waitresses crying in the rain
Am                   Em                 D
Will their boyfriends pass this way again?
G 
Oh Mother Goose, she's on the skids
Am
the shoe* ain't happy neither are the kids  
Bm                        C
She needs someone that she can scream at
G                    D
And I'm such at heel for making her so bad

C                                F
I guess I'll call it sickness gone
Am                   Em                D
It's hard to say the meaning to this song
C                              F
An ambulance can only go so fast
Am               Em               D
It's easy to get buried in the past
C                                  F
When you try to make a good thing last
Am   Em   D

G
I saw today, in the entertainment section
Am
There's room at the top for private detection
Bm             C
To Mom and Dad this just doesn't matter
G                    D
But it's either that or pay off the kidnappers
C                          F
So all you critics sit alone
Am                    Em                        D
You're no better than me for what  you've shown
C                                               F
With your stomach pump and your hook and ladder dreams
Am                 Em               D
We could get together for some scenes

G
Well I'm up in T.O.  keepin' jive alive
Am
and out on the corner it's half past five
Bm                        C
But the subways are empty and so are the cafes
G                              D
Except for the Farmer's Market and I can still hear him sayin'
C                                  F
"You're all just pissin' in the wind
Am             Em             D
You don't know it but you are"
C                              F
And there ain't nothing like a friend
Am                           Em              D
Who can tell you you're just pissin' in the wind

G
I never knew a man could tell so many lies
Am
he had a different story for every set of eyes
Bm                  C
How can he remember who he's talking to?
G                        D                        G(hold)
Cause I know it ain't me and I hope it isn't you

F                    G      C      Am G
The world is treating me bad... misery. 

C               F
I'm the kind of guy,
    C             F
Who never used to cry,
                         G      C     Am G
The world is treatin' me bad... misery

C                     F
I've lost her now for sure,
  C                F  
I won't see her no more,
                G       C
It's gonna be a drag... misery

Am                           C           
I'll remember all the little things we've done
Am                                 G         G7
Can't she see she'll always be the only one, only one.


C                F
Send her back to me,
       C            F
'Cause everyone can see
                   G     C
Without her I will be in misery


Am                           C
I'll remember ...


C                F
Send her back to me...

Gm 
Hoje eu tive um sonho que foi o mais bonito 
Que eu sonhei em toda a minha vida 
Sonhei que todo mundo vivia preocupado 
Tentando encontrar uma saída 
 Cm              G            Bb 
Quando em minha porta alguém tocou 
 D7                          Gm 
Sem que ela se abrisse ele entrou 
 Cm         F           Bb          Eb 
E era algo tão divino, luz em forma de menino 
 Ab                   D7 
Que uma canção me ensinou 
G 
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la 
                            D 
La la la la la la la la la la 
                            Gm 
La la la la la la la la la la 
 Gm 
Tinha na inocência a sabedoria 
Da simplicidade e me dizia 
Que tudo é mais forte quando todos cantam 
A mesma canção e que eu devia 
 Cm        F         Bb 
Ensinar a todos por ali 
  D7                            Gm 
E quantos mais houvessem para ouvir 
   Cm            F          Bb        Eb 
E a fé em cada coração, na força daquela canção 
  Ab                        D7 
Seria ouvida lá no céu por Deus 
 G 
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la 
                            D 
La la la la la la la la la la 
                            Gm 
La la la la la la la la la la 
 Gm 
E saí cantando meu pequeno hino 
Quando vi que alguém também cantava 
Vi minha esperança na voz de um menino 
Que sorrindo me acompanhava 
 Cm             F          Bb 
Outros que brincavam mais além 
   D7                         Gm 
Deixavam de brincar pra vir também 
   Cm           F          Bb        Eb 
E cada vez crescia mais aquele batalhão de paz 
 Ab                        D7 
Onde já marchavam mais de cem 
G 
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la 
                            D 
La la la la la la la la la la 
                            G  D#7 
La la la la la la la la la la 
 G#m 
De todos os lugares vinham aos milhares 
E em pouco tempo eram milhões 
Invadindo ruas, campos e cidades 
Espalhando amor aos corações 
 C#m           F#         B 
Em resposta o céu se iluminou 
 D#7                G#m 
Uma luz imensa apareceu 
 C#m               F#         B           E 
Tocaram fortes os sinos, os sons eram divinos 
  D#7                    G#m 
A paz tão esperada aconteceu 
  C#m           F#       B            E 
Inimigos se abraçaram e juntos festejaram 
  A                           D#7 
O bem maior, a paz, o amor e Deus 
 G# 
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la 
                           D# 
La la la la la la la la la la 
                           G#

A Guerra Dos Meninos

E B
Yo seré lo que tú quieras que sea
C#m G#m
seré tu amante cuando tú lo prefieras
A E B
cuando revientes en llantos róbame un abrazo tal vez algo más..
E B
No te preocupes por quitarme la vida
C#m G#m
me la devuelves cuando tu lo decidas
A E B
y que no importe si el viento en otro momento nos vuelve a juntar...

A B E
y ya no estás arañándome la espalda,
G#m A E B
no me importa lo que hagas, si tu quieres vuelveme a esperar
(E-B-C#m-G#m-A-E-B)x2
eh eh eh...

G#m A (B-A)
Si vuelvo a sufrir ...!que me coman a besos!
A E A E
doy gracias por amarme, y por abandonarme
A G#m A B E
en lugar de tu amor escogí una luz para poder consolarme

Yo seré lo que tu quieras ....
Yo seré lo que tú quieras...

Por el momento y situacion en la cual escuche este tema me senti un tonto
he jurado no volver a cometer los mismos errores del pasado
es mi turno de recompensarte por todo lo que hiciste por mí
ahora yo te la dedico KaRyKatu my liebe....
