MAN, IT'S SO LOUD IN HERE

Written by They Might Be Giants
Transcribed by Charlie Coniglio
[attempts have been made, albeit poorly, to align chord changes with corresponding lyrics]

Opening:

Bass rides on C (C major chord may go over this, but is not necessary)

Verse:

C       -    Ab/C      -      C        -       Ab/C  - C                - 
They fixed up the corner store like it was a nightclub
F        -     Em    -      G       -          -          -
    It's permanently     disco
C       -       Ab/C       -      C     -   Ab/C        -   C            - 
Everyone is dressed so oddly; I can't recognize them
   F        -        Em       -        G           -        [no chord]      

[no chord]

I can't tell the staff from the customers

Chorus:

F        -          G          -          C          -         Dm           - 
Baby, check this out, I've got something to say
F         -    G         -      C         -       Dm         -
Man, it's so loud in here
F          -        G          -         C        -            Dm        -
When they stop the drum machine and I can think again
F      -     G            -           C            -          Ab           -
    I'll  remember     what    it     was

Instrumental Bridge:

Dm  -  G  -  Em  -  A  -  Dm  -  G  -  Dm  -  G
The rest of the song is repetition of the above verse and chorus, and the same chords from
the instrumental bridge over the second bridge.  Enjoy.
