This is a hilarious song about the real truth why guys learn how to play the guitar. And let's face it. We have all played the part as "the guitar guy at the party" on more than one occasion. Mike Birbiglia claims that he's only using three chords for this song, but after seeing his Comedy Central half-hour special, I counted about five chords. If you want to see the special that this tab is refering to it's: http://www.comedycentral.com/videos/index.jhtml?videoId=91786&title=mike-birbiglia---guitar-guy And, as always, if you have any troubles with the tab, just listen to the song or watch the video that I have given you and it should give you some help on when he strums and lets the chords ring out. This tab may or may not be exactly right do to the constantly moving camera, but this tab should give a good outline of what you're trying to shoot for. And please rate and comment this tab when you have made your final judgement. www.birbigs.com Chords: lowEADGBe G:320033 Cadd9:X32033 Em7:022033 Dsus4:XX0233 D:XX0232 Verse 1: G Cadd9 Em7 G I'm the guitar guy at the party Cadd9 G Em7 Cadd9 I'm the guitar guy and I think I'll drink a Coke and Bacardi G Cadd9 It might seem like i'm just havin' fun but I'm G Cadd9 actually not, i'm trying to sleep with your girlfriend G Cadd9 Listen to me as I play this song 'cause I'm Em7 G gonna play it regardless Verse 2: Dsus4 G I'm only playin' three chords so Cadd9 G I can make eye contact Cadd9 G with different women in the room Em7 G I'm gonna try and sleep with your girlfriend Cadd9 G But i'm gonna make it sound like we have a really Cadd9 G special bond and we should keep it secret Spoken Verse: [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/m/mike-birbiglia/220915.html ] Em7 G Cadd9 You know i think your boyfriend really takes you for granted Em7 G Cadd9 When was the last time he told you that your eyes look like space crystals?

And that should be that for "The Guitar Guy At The Party", by one of my favorite stand-up comedians Mike Birbiglia.
