Jenny And The Ess-dog Tabulatur von Stephen Malkmus

D    F#m          Bm         A         G            D 
Jennifer dates a man in a 60s cover band
         Em              A
He's the Ess-dog, or Sean if you wish
D      F#m             Bm 
She's eighteen, he's thirty-one
         A                       G    D
She's a rich girl, he's the son
     Em        A
Of a Coca-Cola middle man 

G
Kiss when they listen
D
To "Brothers In Arms"
G
And if there's something wrong with this
D
They don't see the harm
Em                          G
In joining their forces and singing along
G       A
 
D          F#m           Bm                A                 G    D 
See those rings on her toes Check that frisbee in his Volvo
         Em               A
It's a Volvo with ancient plates
D              F#m            Bm
They've got a dog she named Trey
       A             G     D
A retriever with a frayed 
  Em       A
bandana around his neck 

G
Trey has a window 
D
into their relationship
G
The baby talk voices
D
And the post class-a nasal drip
Em
But it all seems to function
G              
At least in her dog's mind 



A
Let me out of here
G
Let me out of here
G
You got to let me out of here
D
You got to let me out of here
A
Let me out of here
A
Out of here
G
Out of here, out of here
G
Let me out of here 
G                   A
I'll hit the ground running 
A
runnnnnnning 
A
Runnnnnnning
A
ruuuuunnnnnnning

D    F#m            Bm            A                G       D 
Jennifer left for school up in Boulder and the Ess-dog 
        Em    A
Came to visit when he could
D        F#m             Bm            
But the strain was too much
            A                 G       D
They could not make up for distance
        Em       A
And the distance between their years 


G
Neither one listens
D
To "Brothers In Arms"
G
And the Ess-dog waits tables
D
And he sold his guitar
Em                          G
Jenny pledged Kappa and she started pre-law

Em                       G
And off came those awful toe rings
Em                         Eb
Off came those awful toe rings
D
