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

Verse

Long before the screen door slammed, she was out of xenia

Chorus

I wish I'd gotten to know her before I fell in love

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

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

Didn't want to be a slave

just turned out that way

(Organ solo:listen for the rythm)

Chorus

I thought my luck was changing, I guess I was wrong

I could say she's to blame, say she'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
