PRIMITIVE RADIO GODS - "standing outside a broken phone booth" Tablature
Official PRIMITIVE RADIO GODS Tablature & Sheet Music »
... or, "Standing Outside A Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hand".
It's a very, very simple song, just the bassline, some chords, and maybe a guitar every
so often. It's mostly keyboard, however. And the sample is B.B. King going "I been
downhearted baby, ever since the day we met."
'Standing Outside A Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hand'
Primitive Radio Gods
(O'Connor, Feather, Feather. Contains samples from "How Blue Can You Get" by Feather and
Feather.)
G C
Jan lays down and wrestles in her sleep
G
Moonlight spills on comic books
Bm C
And superstars in magazines
G C
An old friend calls and tells us where to meet
G
Her plane takes off from Baltimore
Bm C
And touches down on Bourbon Street
G C
We sit outside and argue all night long
G
About a god we've never seen
Bm C
But never fails to side with me
G C
Sunday comes and all the papers say
Bm
Ma Teresa's joined the mob
C
And happy with her full time job
G
Do do do do doo do
G C
Am I alive or thoughts that drift away?
G
Does summer come for everyone?
Bm C
Can humans do as prophets say?
G C
And if I die before I learn to speak
G Bm
Can money pay for all the days I lived awake
C
But half asleep?
G
Do do do do doo do x 2
G C
A life is time, they teach us growing up
G
The seconds ticking killed us all
Bm C
A million years before the fall
G C
You ride the waves and don't ask where they go
G
You swim like lions through the crest
Bm C
And bathe yourself on zebra flesh
G
I've been downhearted baby,
I've been downhearted baby,
Bm C
Ever since the day we met
(repeat)
As always, this is an interpretation of O'Connor's brilliant song. Corrections, btab,
are welcome.

"If I die before I learn to speak
Will money pay for all the days
I've lived awake but half-asleep"
--Primitive Radio Gods
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 PRIMITIVE RADIO GODS 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.
