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
