WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Loudon Wainwright Iii - Grey In La Chords | Version #2
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
Bb F Eb Bb
When it's grey in L.A. I sure like it that way
Eb Bb F
Cause there's way too much sunshine round here
Bb F Eb Bb
I don't know about you I get so sick of blue skies
Eb F Bb
Wherever they always appear
Bb F Eb Bb
And I sure love the sound of the rain pouring down
Eb Bb F
On my carport roof made out of tin
Bb F Eb Bb
If there's a flood then there's gonna be mudslides
Eb F Bb
We all have to pay for our sin
Eb Bb Eb Bb
And I suppose that they'll close canyon roads
Eb Bb F
And the freeways will all start to clog
Eb Bb Eb Bb
And the waters will rise and you won't be surprised
Eb Bb F
When your whole house smells like your wet dog
Bb F Eb Bb
When it's grey in L.A. it's much better that way
Eb Bb F
It reminds you that this town's so cruel
Bb F Eb Bb
Yeah it might feel like fun when you're sportin' sunglasses
Eb F Bb
But really you're just one more fool
Bb F Eb Bb
I'm just a chump this whole town's a dump
Eb Bb F
We came out here to dump all our dreams
Bb F Eb Bb
Of making it big but we're stuck in a sig alert nightmare
Eb F Bb
That's just how it seems
Eb Bb Eb Bb
And I suppose Laurie David sure knows
Eb Bb F
All those cars we drive heat up our earth
Eb Bb Eb Bb
And sea temperatures rise and those constant blue skies
Eb Bb F
And brush fires can sure curb your mirth
Bb F Eb Bb
Brad Grey's in L.A. yeah OK I should stay here
Eb Bb F
There's no place that's better i know
Bb F Eb Bb
For a wannabe star stuck in a car
Eb F Bb
On a freeway with nowhere to go
Repeat 1st verse
