Dead skunk

[mishima]

Stumbled across the Loudon Wainwright song Dead Skunk in the recesses of my memory. I have figured out the chords but I am wandering around without direction to pick out the tune. Any and all assistance is appreciated.

Thanks

What tune?? Loudon's approach to guitar playing is to basically treat it as a rhythm instrument, so I reckon the chords should be fine on their own -- the tune is what you sing (or are you thinking of taking an instrumental break on this song?).

I was thinking of taking a break. Any suggestions?

Sing the melody, find the melody notes on your mandolin, find the easiest way to navigate the melody on the fretboard, learn it down cold, start throwing in embellishments.

Thanks I'm on it

Funny song.
