THE DEAD MILKMEN
Little Man In My Head

from Metaphysical Graffiti

Tabbed by: Ben Gladdle (moose9377@hotmail.com)


This one's pretty easy once you've got the strumming pattern.
There's a rather large instrumental bit with weird noises and
no clearly audible lyrics that I haven't really tabbed and can't
honestly be bothered :)  If you really want it, just ask, but
the song's fine without it, I think.


Intro/Verse:
-----------

There's two basic lines that are repeated throughout the intro and
the verses.

Dm                Am    C
Dm                Gm    C


verse:
There's a little man in my head
And he's drunk all of the time
He sits there on a bench, holdin' a monkey wrench
Sometimes he beats it against my mind

verse:
There's a little man in my head
And I don't think he likes it there
I do bad things but it's his fault, and he knows he can't get caught
That little man, he just don't play fair


Chorus:
------
Bb                   A  G  F
There's a little man in my head
       A                                   Bb
And he must have lived in someone's head before
       Bb
'Cause I was born in '63
    F              A               Bb C
And he's only been there since '74


verse:
There's a little man in my head
And I don't think he understands me
We've got no common ground, on which to work around
He gets so bored when I watch TV

verse:
There's a little man in my head
And I don't think that he'll ever die
When he takes control, he really takes his toll
It's enough to make a grown man cry


Chorus 2: (This one's just a little different.
--------
Bb                   A  G  F
There's a little man in my head
    A                        Bb
And I wish he'd find another home
Bb                   A  G  F
There's a little man in my head
    A                  Bb    C
And now I'll never be alone


verse:
Richard Spencer has got a little man in his head
Louis Farrakhan has got a little man in his head
Frank Rizzo has got a little man in his head
Squeaky Fromm has got a little man in her head
Jim Jones had a little man in his head
Richard Ramirez has got a little man in his head
Ted Bundy had a little man in his head
Dan Quayle's got a little man in his head
and I don't know...
How 'bout you?
Maybe you've got a man in your head too


Solo: Not done yet, so just play the verse riff...
----
[Almost indecipherable gibberish]
Stayed up real late
And watched the Charles Bronson film festival


chorus:
There's a little man in my head
And he must have lived in someone's head before
'Cause I was born in '63
And he's only been there since '74

End on a Dm.
