Subject: TAB: Skinny Legs by Lyle Lovett

Here's a Lyle Lovett song. I think I actually understand this one.

>From the album "I Love Everybody"

   SKINNY LEGS
   Written and performed by Lyle Lovett

   The tab section of this arrangement sounds like what he plays
throughout the entire song and IMHO it works quite well

   CAPO eighth fret

Skinny Legs

G                      Csus2
See that boy with that guitar
G         C          G     A7sus4/F# G
He's got skinny legs like I always wanted
  G                    Csus2
A girlfriend in his car 'cause
     G    C           G A7sus4/F# G
He's got skinny legs like I always wanted
    Csus2  
Now sister look at me again
G               C     G         A7sus4/F# G
Well you'd love me if I were as skinny as him

And see that boy with that guitar
He's got a shirt and tie like I always wanted
A girlfriend in his car 'cause
He's got a shirt and tie like I always wanted
Now sister look at me again
Well you'd love me if I were a dresser like him

See that boy with that guitar
He's got a blue Toyota like I always wanted
A Japanese girl in his car
It's a blue Toyota like I always wanted
Now sister look at me again
Well you'd love me if I were a driver like him

See that boy with that guitar
He's got a baby face like I always wanted
A girlfriend in his car 'cause 
He's got a baby face like I always wanted
Now sister look at me again
Well you'd love me if I were a looker like him

And see that boy with that guitar
He's got a little round . . . like I always wanted
A girlfriend in his car 'cause 
He's got a little round . . . like I always wanted
Now sister look at me again
Well you'd love me if I had an . . . like him
      G    C     G         A7sus4/F# G
You'd love me if that were my rear end

    G                  C     G
But legs they come and faces go
    C     A7sus4/F# G
Just like old Toyotas
             G                         Csus2
The Jap girl dumped my ass and stole my clothes
G       C       G       A7sus4/F# G
She took my car and left me singing


G                      Csus2
See that boy with that guitar
G         C          G     A7sus4/F# G
He's got skinny legs like I always wanted
  G                    Csus2
A girlfriend in his car 'cause
     G    C           G A7sus4/F# G
He's got skinny legs like I always wanted
