DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT- The Talking Heads
C A
I see the clouds that move across the sky
C A
I see the wind that moves the clouds away
G F/G Am
It moves the clouds over by the building
G F/G Am
I pick the building that I want to live in
C A
I smell the pine tress and the beeches in the woods
C A
I see the pine cones that fall by the highway
G F/G Am
That's the highway that goes to the building
G F/G Am
I pick the building that I want to live in
CHORUS:
C Dm7 G/A
It's over there, it's over there
D G D
My building has every convenience
D G D
It's gonna make life easy for me
D G D
It's gonna be easy to get things done
D G D
I will relax along with my loved ones
E Dmaj7 Bm7
Loved ones, loved ones, visit the building
E Dmaj7 Bm7
Take the highway, park and come up and see me
E Dmaj7 Bm7
I'll be working, working, but if you come visit
E Dmaj7 Bm7
I'll put down what I'm doing, my friends are important
Dm7 G/A D Dm7 G/A D
Don't ya worry 'bout me, I wouldn't worry about me
Dm7 G/A D Dm7 G/A D
Don't ya worry 'bout me, I wouldn't worry about me
I see the states across this big nation
I see the laws made in Washington, D.C.
I think of the ones I consider my favorites
I think of the people that are working for me
Some civil servants are just like my loved ones
They work so hard and they try to be strong
I'm a lucky guy to live in my building
They all need buildings to help them along
CHORUS
Dm7: x x 0 2 1 1 Dmaj7: x x 0 2 2 2 G/A: 3 0 0 0 0 3
Bm7: 2 2 4 2 3 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 TALKING HEADS 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.
