New Paint Tab

by Loudon Wainwright Iii


This is a quick chording of Loudon's New Paint off Album III.
There are different hammer ons and other things in the song that you can just improv, 
are just the essential chords.
The walk down is on the A string.


Intro
   (walk down)   

       
At the station you can meet her
                                    
With that smile you couldn't cheat her
Walk-down                       
A woman that kind is hard to find

It's good to take a girl
                        
In the not so very good world
Walk-down                         
And walk in the park until it gets dark
               
Sometimes I feel ugly and old
                    
Excuse me baby if I'm acting bold
                      
My head gets hot but my feet aren't cold
                 
Excuse me if you will

       
Take a breather on a bench
                             
Helps to build up the suspense
       Walk-down                     
Then the two of you go to a movie show
         
If she's woman there's a chance
                          
That she maybe likes to dance
        Walk-down   
So you go to the hall and you out step
     
 all
             
Don't make a hullabaloo I'm not the

hoipaloi
                          
I'll try any trick and I'll pull any ploy
                      
I'm a used up twentieth century boy
                
Excuse me if you will

Interlude:     

              
She takes you home to meet the folks
                      
Laughing at the fathers jokes
        Walk-down                       
Shall we watch TV, it's all right with me
        
Time to go you're going to miss her
                             
In the doorway try to kiss her
      Walk-down   
Oh it tastes so good, like you hoped it

would
                    
If I was 16 again I'd give my eyetooth
                               
I'm tired and I'm hungry and I'm looking for my youth
                           
I'm a little uncool and I'm a little uncouth
                                  
Oh excuse me yes excuse me if you will

       
At the station you can meet her
                                  
With that smile you couldn't cheat her
  Walk-down                 
A woman that kind is hard to find.
