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]Long before the [C]screen door slammed, [G]she was out of [D]xenia
A [G]stranger could have [C]loved that town, [G]but she had to [D]leave
Chorus
I [Am]wish I'd gotten to [D]know her be[Am]fore I fell in [D]love
I could [G]say who's to blame, [Am]say who's the man in this
[F]cautionary [D]tale
But I [G]swore I'd be true and I'll [Am]swear and I'll swear
Til [F]kitten's out of [D]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]Didn't [F]want [C]to be a [G]slave
[Em]just turned [F]out [G]that way
(Organ solo:listen for the rythm)
[G] [Am] [F] [D] [G] [Am] [F] [D]  
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
Outro
G Am F D (Repeat this a couple times, then end on G)
