Subject: CRD: They Might Be Giants "Dead"
Here's "Dead"; these are the chords I use on the piano, and I think they're
the same as the recording.
DEAD (by They Might Be Giants)
------------------------------
[Each chord is half a measure, except "X - Y" is a half measure TOTAL.]
F Bb - C
I returned a bag of groceries
F Bb - C F Bb - C F F
Accidently taken off the shelf before the expiration date
F Bb C
I came back as a bag of groceries
F Bb - C F Bb - C F F7
Accidently taken off the shelf before the date stamped on myself
Bb Gm Gm Gm Bb
Did a large procession wave their torches as my head fell in the basket
Gm C C7
And was everybody dancing on the casket?
F Bb C C
Now it's over, I'm dead and I haven't done anything that I want
F Bb - C F C7
Or I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do
I will never say the word "procrastinate" again
I'll never see myself in the mirror with my eyes closed
I didn't apologize or when I was eight
And I made my younger brother have to be my personal slave
Did a large procession... ...nothing I want to do
F Bb F Bb
So I won't sit at home anymore and you won't
F Bb F Bb
See my head in the window and I won't be around
F Bb F Bb C - C7
Ever anymore and I'll be up there on the wall at the store
I returned the bag of groceries... ...stamped on myself
Did a large procession... ...nothing I want to do

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 THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS 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.
