D
I drive alone, home from work
Bm A
And I always think of her
D Bm A
Late at night I call her, but I never say a word
G Bm A D G
But I can see her squeeze the phone between her chin and shoulder
Bm A D G D G
And I can almost smell her breath, faint, with a sweet scent of decay
D
She serves him mashed potatoes
Bm A
She serves him peppered steak, and corn
D Bm A
Pulls the dress up over her head, lets it fall to the floor
G Bm A D G
And does she ever whisper in his ear, all her favorite fruit
Bm A D G
And all the most exotic places they are cultivated
D Bm A
And I'd like to take her there, rather than this train I'm on
D Bm A
And if I weren't a civil servant, I'd have a place in the colonies
G Bm A D G
We'd play croquet behind white-washed walls and drink our tea at four
Bm A D G
Within intervention's distance of the embassy
D A D
The midday air grows thicker with the heat
Bm A
And drifts towards the line of trees
D A D Bm A
When negroes blink their eyes, they sink into siesta
G Bm A D G
And we are rotting like a fruit underneath a rusting roof
Bm A D G
We dream our dreams and sing our songs of love - fecundity
D G D G D G
Of life and love, of life and love, of life and love
(end with opening riff, then finish on D)
You may wish to play the G barred on the 3rd fret, and sometimes pick the
top three strings descending.

********-They Might Be Giants************************************************
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official CAMPER VAN BEETHOVEN tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
