lyrics
She thinks she missed the train to Mars
She's out back counting stars
She's not at work she's not at school she's not in bed
I think I finally broke her
I bring her home everything I want
And nothing that she needs
I thought she'd/you'd be there holding daisies,
She/you always wait(s) for me
She thinks she missed the train to Mars
She's out back counting stars
I found her out back
Sitting naked looking up and looking dead
A crumpled yellow piece of paper
Seven nines and tens
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 HUM 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.
