Loudon Wainwright III New Paint Lyrics

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.
G C G (walk down) D G D
At the station you can meet her
With that smile you couldn't cheat her
Walk-down D G D
A woman that kind is hard to find
It's good to take a girl
In the not so very good world
Walk-down D G
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 D G D
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 D
So you go to the hall and you out step
em 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: G C G D G
She takes you home to meet the folks
Laughing at the fathers jokes
Walk-down D G D
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 D
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 D G
A woman that kind is hard to find.
