In a world we call our own there's lots of room to roam
A :|
plenty of time to turn mistakes into rhyme
there's a place for those who love their poetry
it's just across from the sign that says Pros Only
D
So if you like a band with a chick singer
C D
say your cup of tea is a wall of trombones
C
If you dig Menudo or MDC we salute you the way we know
Chorus:
G C
For every one with dollar signs in his eyes
Em A / D
there must be hundreds who look at you as if you're some kind of

speak softly, drive a Sherman tank
laugh hard it's a long way to the bank
Do you sing like Olive Oyl on purpose
you guys must be into the Eurythmics
(Chorus)

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.
