New Paint

Loudon Wainwright III

Transposer:

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 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 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: She takes you home to meet the folks Laughing at the fathers jokes 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.

La chanson évoque une rencontre romantique et la fraîcheur des débuts d'une relation amoureuse. On y parle de moments simples mais significatifs : attendre à la gare, partager des rires en famille, et profiter ensemble d'une sortie au cinéma. L’artiste exprime un mélange de nostalgie et de désir de retrouver sa jeunesse, semblant parfois maladroit mais sincère dans ses intentions. Cette exploration des sentiments humains et des plaisirs simples de la vie rappelle à quel point il est précieux de chérir ces instants.
