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 (320003@1)             C (x32010@1)                  G (320003@1)            DLong (xx0232@1)before the screen door slammed, she was out of xenia
  G (320003@1)                 C (x32010@1)              G (320003@1)            DA (xx0232@1)stranger could have loved that town, but she had to leave

Chorus
  Am (x02210@1)               D (xx0232@1)        Am (x02210@1)           DI (xx0232@1)wish I'd gotten to know her before I fell in love

F (133211@1)        Dcautionary (xx0232@1)tale
      G (320003@1)                        AmBut (x02210@1)I swore I'd be true and I'll swear and I'll swear
    F (133211@1)             DTil (xx0232@1)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

Til kitten's out of jail
