Snowball In Hell

They Might Be Giants


Tom: G

G            D   C
Avalanche or roadblock
G       D           C
I was a snowball in hell
G            D   C
Avalanche or roadblock
G                D      C
A jailer trapped in his cell

[Verse 1]
Em          C
Money's all broke
A                D
And food's going hungry
Em               C
If it wasn't for disappointment
A               D
I wouldn't have any appointments

[Chorus]
G              D    C
Side effect or drug trip
G                   D           C
Don't tease me with all of your might
G              D    C
Side effect or drug trip
G                 D     C
My panacea's in a Xerox shop

[Post-Chorus]
Em     C         A        D
Have a nice day, you want it when?
Em     C         A      D
Have a nice day, have a nice day

[Bridge] (Accordion plays B  G  )

I didn't expect to find a salesman drinking coffee this late in the morning.
How long you been here, Joe?
Oh, I don't know, I guess thirty, forty-five minutes maybe. Why do you ask?
You must be making a lot of sales, piling up good income.
Oh... uh... I'm doing all right. I could do better, but...
Ohahaha, I get it Paul. Back on that old "Time is Money" kick, right?
Not back on it, Joe, still on it.

[Chorus]
G            D   C
Avalanche or roadblock
G       D           C
I was a snowball in hell
G            D   C
Avalanche or roadblock
G                D      C
A jailer trapped in his cell

[Post-Chorus]
Em      C   A         D
Money I owe, money-iy-ay
Em      C   A         D
Money I owe, money-iy-ay

[Chorus]
G            D   C
Avalanche or roadblock
G       D           C
I was a snowball in hell
G            D           C
Yes, I was a snowball in hell
G            D           C
Yes, I was a snowball in hell
