like an old man in a dress
treat me like a twelve year old man
no more hearts
don't know what twenty is
don't know where the tree stands
only follow these hands

at midnight i hit your song - it sings again

we've been swinging around the tree - for how long now?
maybe she wants to be cared for
stay home a month here a month there
maybe take to their open roads
maybe take to their open roads
maybe take to their open roads

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 THROWING MUSES 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.
