Loudon Wainwright Iii – Grey In La tab
Chords:
This is what I came up with after hearing this song on the end of the Knocked up DVD. (Best part of the whole film... lol) It is in the right key cos I played along to it once I had it figured out. Play it mostly up on the 6th and 8th frets, that way you can go down to F at the first fret where he sings about the house smelling like a wet dog. Have fun Grey in L.A A# F D# A# When it's grey in L.A. I sure like it that way D# A# F Cause there's way too much sunshine round here A# F D# A# I don't know about you I get so sick of blue skies D# F A# Wherever they always appear A# F D# A# And I sure love the sound of the rain pouring down D# A# F On my carport roof made out of tin A# F D# A# If there's a flood then there's gonna be mudslides D# F A# We all have to pay for our sin D# A# D# A# And I suppose that they'll close canyon roads D# A# F And the freeways will all start to clog D# A# D# A# And the waters will rise and you won't be surprised D# A# F When your whole house smells like your wet dog A# F D# A# When it's grey in L.A. it's much better that way D# A# F It reminds you that this town's so cruel A# F D# A# Yeah it might feel like fun when you're sportin' sunglasses D# F A# But really you're just one more fool A# F D# A# I'm just a chump this whole town's a dump D# A# F We came out here to dump all our dreams A# F D# A# Of making it big but we're stuck in a sig alert nightmare D# F A# That's just how it seems D# A# D# A# And I suppose Laurie David sure knows D# A# F All those cars we drive heat up our earth D# A# D# A# And sea temperatures rise and those constant blue skies D# A# F And brush fires can sure curb your mirth A# F D# A# Brad Grey's in L.A. yeah OK I should stay here D# A# F There's no place that's better i know A# F D# A# For a wannabe star stuck in a car D# F A# On a freeway with nowhere to go Repeat 1st verse
