JOE DIFFIE - "third rock from the sun" Tablature
Official JOE DIFFIE Tablature & Sheet Music »
Capo at first fret (chords are listed as played - key is really F)
Intro: Welcome to Earth, 3rd rock from the sun
Chorus: E
She walks into Smokey's one hip at a time
like a broken field runner slippin' through the line
A
he likes the way she looks so he calls the little wife says
E
"Don't wait up for me I'll be workin' late tonight"
B
wife hangs up the phone, bursts into tears
E
calls her sister up and cries "Get over here"
Sister tells her boyfriend be back in awhile
boyfriend wants a beer, the store is just a mile
he leaves the motor running he'll only be a minute
his car drives away with teenagers in it
the driver tells his buddies, got one life to live
they scream into the night "Let's get it over with"
Chorus: A
Cause and effect, chain of events
E
all of the chaos makes perfect sense
A
when you're spinning round, things come undone
E A E
Welcome to Earth 3rd rock from the Sun
Verse2:
the kid guns the gas, the car starts to swerve
heads for a semi truck, jumps the curb
truck hits a Big Boy in the Shoney's parking lot
and flies through the air takes out the bank clock
clock strikes a light pole, transformer sparks
lines go down, town goes dark
waitress calls the cops, says she saw it all
swears a giant alien has landed at the mall
cops ring up the mayor says there's panic in the streets
"We hate to wake you up but we can't find the chief"
Mayor says "Use your head if he ain't in his car
he's hiding from his wife, down at Smokey's Bar"
[CHORUS x 2]

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 JOE DIFFIE 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.
