|: Em Bm
Love sees love's happiness
G A D - :|
but happiness can't see that love is sad
sadness is hanging there
to show love somewhere something needs a change
they need a change
Chorus:
|: D -
They'll need a crane, they'll need a crane
D / A G
to take the house he built for her apart
F#m -
to make it break it's gonna take
F#m / G A :|
a metal ball hung from a chain
they'll need a crane, they'll need a crane
to pick the broken ruins up again
to mend her heart, to help him start
to see a world apart from pain
2.
Lad's gal is all he has
gal's gladness hangs upon the love of lad
some things gal says to lad
aren't mean't as bad but cause a little pain
they cause him pain
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Em D G A
Don't call me at work again, oh no the boss still hates me
D Em G A
I'm just tired and I don't love you anymore and there's a restaurant
Bm D E G
we should check out where the other nightmare people like to go
D G D A
I mean nice people baby wait I didn't mean to say nightmare
3.
Lad looks at other gals
gal thinks Jim Beam is handsomer than lad - he isn't bad
call off the wedding band
nobody wants to hear that one again
play that again
(Chorus)
Coda:
|: D - :|
They'll need a crane, they'll need a crane...
-E.M.
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.
