  Why Must I Be Sad?

  by They Might Be Giants (from the CD "John Henry")

  transcribed by Gary Snegaroff (SnegG@aol.com)

  

  

  (Intro riff then) D Em F C D Em F C

  

  D  Dmaj7       Gm   Gm7

  No more Mister Nice Guy

  

  C C7       F    A

  I love the dead

  

  D         Dmaj7     Gm   Gm7

  I've been thinking about it

  

             C     C7      F    A

  Now I understand what he said

  

  

  CHORUS:

  

  D   Em F   C

  Ask me now I

  

  D    Em        F          C     D

  understand the words that Alice said

  

    Em       F       C

  I kick the rocks beneath me

  

  D        Em     F   C

  I squint at the sun

  

  D    G    F#m  Bm

  Sad, sad, sad, sad

  

  Em       G    A

  Why must I be sad?

  

  D           G    F#m   Bm      Em   F#m

  The rows of dandelions growing all around me

  

  G        A    D   Em F C D Em F C

  Why must I be sad?

  

  

  D                  Dmaj7             Gm  Gm7

  No one knows these things but me and him

  

         C                  C7               F        A

  so I'm writing everything down in a spiral notebook

  

  D      Dmaj7          Gm        Gm7

  in the hopes that one day other people

  

       C       C7     F    A

  will feel as low as this

  

  (repeat Chorus)

  

  

  Dm Dm/Bd       Dm/B Dm/C

  No more Mister Nice Guy

  

  Bdm Bdm7   Fm   Dd

  I love the dead

  

  Ddim7         Edim7      

  I've been thinking about it

  

             Ddim7         F+   A

  Now I understand what he said

  

  (repeat Chorus, except last line is...)

  

  G        A    Em   F#m

  Why must I be sad?

  

  (repeat until)

  

  G        A    D   Em F C D Em F C D

  Why must I be sad?
