  Number Three by They Might Be Giants

  

  [Convention: each chord is two beats/half a measure.  A dash indicates that

   the chord is held for another two beats; two chords with a slash between

   them are held for one beat/a quarter of a measure each.]

  

  

  Chorus:

                E        -         A                 E

  There's only two songs in me and I just wrote the third

  

              E               -              F#              B

  don't know where I got the inspiration or how I wrote the words

  

             E              -             A               E

  spent my whole life just digging up my music's shallow grave

  

          F#m       A               B               E

  for the two songs in me and the third one I just made

  

  

  

  1.

     A            -               E               -

  A rich man once told me - hey, life's a funny thing

  

     A             -               B               -

  a poor man once told me that he can't afford to speak

  

      Ab          -             A              -

  now I'm in the middle like a bird without a beak

  

  

  (Chorus)

  

  

  2.

  So I went to the president and I asked old whatshisname

  has he ever gotten writer's block or something like the same?

  he just started talking like he was on tv

  

                   E         -           B                  E

  if there's just two songs in ya boy, what do you want from me?

  

  

  

  3.

  So I bought myself some denim pants and a silver guitar

  but I flatly told the ladies - you'll still have to call me 'sir'

  'cause I have to keep my self-respect or I'll never be a star

  

                      E         -          A      -

  since there's just two songs in me and this is

  

   -  -    E

  number three

  

  -E.M.
