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
