C7 Cm7
Jimmy
G7 Gm7
His secret's out
C7 Cm7 Gm F
The one he locked inside and denied every word about
C7 Cm7
He's guilty
G7 Gm7
So his story claims
C7 Cm7 Gm F
Twisting in his seat he repeats alone his name
Bb
Counting his words
D Gm
Between his every line
Bb7/Ab Db6/9 Bb5/Eb
Searching miles and miles to define
Ebsus4/Db Eb/Db Ebsus4/Db Eb7
Just what it all means
Jimmy
As quiet as a church mouse
Painted every graphic scene but with few details
His accomplice had made sure of this
When she sealed it with a bedspring kiss
And when his time had come to go
Jimmy washed all of the blood stains from her clothes
But with a needle is his vein
It became too hard to explain
Just what it all means
Counting the words between his every line
Searching mile and miles to define
Just what it all means
interlude (I'm really VERY "iffy" on these chords)

then bass | G / | F / | E Eb D B | C# B G# C# |
(instrumental to chords from verse)
Bb
Counting his words
D Gm
Between his every line
Bb7/Ab Db6/9 Bb5/Eb
Searching miles and miles to define
Ebsus4/Db Eb/Db Ebsus4/Db Eb7
Just what it all means
Killing his time
A monkey in his vein
He knew he could not explain
Just what it all means
Just what it all means

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 JELLYFISH 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.
