Nothings Gonna Change My Clothes

Nothing's Gonna Change My Clothes 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.

This song is lowered two semitones. Capo up two frets to be in tune with

the original.]

|: D - - B7

Oh the people are so happy now, their heads are caving in

Em - - A

I'm glad they are a snowman with protective rubber skin

F - Bb -

But every little thing's a domino that falls on different dots

F - Bb A :|

and crashes into everything that tries to make it stop

And the mirror it reflects a tiny dancing skeleton

surrounded by a fleshy overcoat and swaddled in

a furry hat elastic mask a pair of shiny marble dice

some people call them snake eyes but to me they look like mice

D Bm G G#dim (G#dim: 120101)

And nothing's smelling like a rose but I don't care if

no one's coming up for air, 'cause I know

nothing's gonna change my clothes, ever anymore

D/Eb E/Eb (I usually just slide D up and down a fret at a time)

 

Oh the people are so happy now, their heads are caving in

I'm glad they are a snowman with protective rubber skin

But every little thing's a domino that falls on different dots

and crashes into everything that tries to make it stop

And nothing's smelling like a rose but I don't care if

no one's coming up for air, 'cause I know

nothing's gonna change my clothes, ever anymore
