Out Of Jail
by They Might Be Giants
Transcribed by Adam Lane
This is a really simple tune, and not origionally one of my favorites
on John Henry, but lately I've noticed how much fun it is to play.
Intro
E F G
Verse
G C G D
Long before the screen door slammed, she was out of xenia
G C G D
A stranger could have loved that town, but she had to leave
Chorus
Am D Am D
I wish I'd gotten to know her before I fell in love
G Am
I could say who's to blame, say who's the man in this
F D
cautionary tale
G Am
But I swore I'd be true and I'll swear and I'll swear
F D
Til kitten's out of jail
Verse
It was like a TV show, the way she stole that car
Easy now to criticize, easy now to talk
Chorus
I thought my luck was changing, I guess I was wrong
I could say who's to blame, say who's the man in this
cautionary tale
But I swore I'd be true and I'll swear and I'll swear
Til kitten's out of jail
Bridge
Em F C G
Didn't want to be a slave
Em F G
just turned out that way
(Organ solo:listen for the rythm)
G Am F D G Am F D
Chorus
I thought my luck was changing, I guess I was wrong
I could say she's to blame, say she's the man in this
cautionary tale
But I swore I'd be true and I'll swear and I'll swear
Til kitten's out of jail
Outro
G Am F D (Repeat this a couple times, then end on G)
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.
