The Other Guy – Little River Band
Someone saw my Tab for Night Owls by LRB and asked if I knew where 'The Other Guy'
could be found. I looked around but again couldn’t find it, so, unaccustomed as I
am, I’ve had a bash at interpreting it - especially in view of the title - thought
I had to have a go.
Hope it seems vaguely close and helps you out! Happy to have any constructive feedback!

F Fc(cut) D5 Bb C (*) C (*alternative) G
|e----1--------X---------X--------1--------3--------0------------------3|
|B----1--------X---------X--------3--------5--------1------------------0|

|E----1--------X---------X--------1--------3--------X------------------3|
To me, the beginning, that wonderful 2 part driving beat sounds like it’s
dominated by the bass guitar in the actual version, and so I feel this 3 finger
plucked Fc D5 is the best interpretation from an acoustic/rhythm guitar. If you’re
an advanced player, play this then make the tricky change to Bb…....
For mere mortals** – just play F instead of Fc D5.
(PS – there is no such chord as Fc – I’ve just made that one up. – for the
purists, it is still technically an F as it has the 1,3 and 5 in it – so to
distinguish it from the full 6 string strum F, I’ve called it Fc. )
** Or try one of the following:
Put a Capo on Fret 1 and substitute:
E shape for F
A shape for Bb
B shape for C (ie barred on the actual 3rd fret A shape)
F# shape for G (ie barred on the 3rd fret E shape)
or easier still, put a capo on Fret 3 and substitute:
D shape for F
G shape for Bb
A shape for C (ie barred on the actual 3rd fret A shape)
E shape for G (ie barred on the 3rd fret E shape)
Intro
Fc Fc D5 Fc Fc D5 Fc Fc D5 Fc Fc D5
Verse:
Fc Fc D5 Fc Fc D5 Fc Fc D5 Fc Fc D5
I found out that you care for another guy
Fc Fc D5 Fc Fc D5 Fc Fc D5 Fc Fc D5
I found out that you want for another smile
Bb (Fc Fc D5)
We are alone as two different people can be
C Bb
And it's hurting me so just to know
Fc Fc D5
That you don't care for me
----------------------------------------------------------------
Chorus:
------
Bb
The other guy won't be around to talk to our kids
F
He won't understand when you're
down the way that I did
Bb
We had it all you and I
C
We just need to try again
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fc Fc D5 Fc Fc D5 Fc Fc D5 Fc Fc D5
I found out that your hearts with another guy
Fc Fc D5 Fc Fc D5 Fc Fc D5 Fc Fc D5
You found out that you're telling another lie
Bb
We've come apart
We're going our own separate ways
C
And you don't understand why I love you
Bb F
And want you to stay...
Chorus
Bb
You don't know it's me that you need
F
You're thinkin' of him and I can't compete
G C
But I'm here to stay, I still want you back again
Chorus (3x)
