Intro: (slide guitar stuff, etc. not worth tabbing. if you must know it,
you can probably figure it out.)
Riff 1
Verse: (play Riff 1 over the verses)
Painted old lady
Collecting splinters on the bench
She's waiting to go to heaven
One-eyed old man
With his party hat on
He swears there is no hell
No hell....
Chorus: (play Riff 2 over chorus)
Play mainly the lower strings on chorus chords (i'm not very sure of these).
D2 Am G
I know a girl
D2 Am G
Who believes a girl
D2 Am G C (beginning of verse chords)
Who believes she used to be a dog
Verse: During the second verse, in addition to Riff 1, a second
guitar repeats the chords C and Am. You can also throw in a quick
F between the Am and C to simulate the bass. If you do this I
suggest you only hit the low strings on the F chord to keep it from
sounding jangly.
C
Elevator rising
Am (F)
I wonder what's on the top floor
C Am (F)
The numbers are on the wall
C
The sun also rises
Am (F)
And the shadows soon fall
C
I keep looking to the sky
Am (F?)
Keep looking to the sky....
On the last "sky," there is an additional guitar part G --1---/3---/5----
I can't quite get the chords behind this ascending part. For now I stick
with the trusty F chord, but if anyone can hear this better, let me know.
Repeat Chorus
Riff before bridge (repeat x3)
D -2-2-2-2--1-1-1-1-----------------------------

Bridge:
G*
It don't matter what I say
F Am
Cause no one is right and no one is wrong

I guess that we'll find some day
F Am
That no one was right and no one was wrong

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 DADA 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.
