C Em
Here we stand like an Adam and an Eve
Dm G
Waterfalls, the Garden of Eden
C Em
Two fools in love so beautiful and strong
Dm G
The birds in the trees are smiling upon them
B Em B Em
From the age of the dinosaurs cars have run on gasoline
C Em C Dm
Where, where have they gone? Now, it's nothing but flowers
C G F C
There was a factory, now there are mountains and rivers
G F
You got it, you got it
C G F C
We caught a rattlesnake, now we've got something for dinner
G F
You got it, you got it
D A G D
There was a shopping mall, now it's all covered with flowers
A G
You got it, you got it
D A G D
If this is paradise, I wish I had a lawnmower
A G
You got it, you got it
C Em
Years ago I was an angry young man
Dm G
I'd pretend that I was a billboard
C Em
Standing tall by the side of the road
Dm G
I fell in love with a beautiful highway
B Em B Em
This used to be real estate, now it's only fields and trees
C Em C Dm
Where, where is the town? Now, it's nothing but flowers
Dm A Dm A
The highways and cars were sacrificed for agriculture
Fm C Fm G
I thought that we'd start all over, but I guess I was wrong
C G F C
Once there were parking lots, now it's a peaceful oasis
G F
You got it, you got it
C G F C
This was a Pizza Hut, now it's all covered with daisies
G F
You got it, you got it
D A G D
I miss the Honky Tonks, Dairy Queens and 7-Elevens
A G
You got it, you got it
D A G D
And as things fell apart, nobody payed much attention
A G
You got it, you got it
D A G D
I dream of cherry pies, candy bars and chocolate chip cookies
A G
You got it, you got it
D A G D
We used to microwave, now we just eat nuts and berries
A G
You got it, you got it
D A G D
This was a discount store, now it's turned into a cornfield
A G
You got it, you got it
D A G D
Don't leave me stranded here, I can't get used to this lifestyle

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.
