Artist: They Might Be Giants
Song: The Statue Got Me High 
Album: Apollo 18
Verse 1:
     G      F      D
The statue got me high
     G      F      D
The statue got me high
     G    F       C      D      C    Em      D
The monument of granite sent a beam into my eye
     G      F       D
The statue made me die                         
     G      F       D
The statue made me die                         
    G       F        C        D      Em      F      G
It took my hand it killed me and it sent me to the sky
Chorus:
     Em        C       D
The stone it called to me
      G     Em       C         Em        C    C   D  D
(And now I see the things the stone has shown to me)  
   Em        C       D
A rock that spoke a word                              
    G   Em    C   Em    C   C    D  D
(An animated mineral it can be heard)                 
     Em       C        D       G     C       Em   D
And though I once preferred a human being's company
      Em     C        D    G        C      Em  D
They pale before the monolith that towers over me  
Verse 2:
     G      F      D
The statue got me high
     G      F      D
The statue got me high
     G    F       C      D      C    Em      D
The truth is where the sculptor's chisel chipped away the lie
     G      F       D
The statue made me fry                                       
     G      F       D
The statue made me fry                        
     G    F       C      D      C    Em      F       G
My coat contained a furnace where there used to be a guy                         
Chorus 2:
     Em        C       D
The stone it called to me
      G     Em       C         Em        C    C   D  D
(And now I see the things the stone has shown to me)
   Em        C       D
A rock that spoke a word
    G   Em    C   Em    C   C    D  D
(An animated mineral it can be heard)
     Em       C        D       G     C       Em   D
And as the screaming fire engine siren filled the air
      Em     C        D    G        C      Em  D
The evidence had vanished from my charred and smoking chair
Post Chorus 1:
     Em        D         G      C
And what they found was just a statue
Em       D          G     D      C     D
Standing where the statue got me high   
     Em        D         G      C
And what they found was just a statue   
Em       D          G     D      G
Standing where the statue got me high   
Sax Solo:
Chorus 3:
     Em        C       D
And now it is your turn
      G     Em       C         Em        C    C   D  D
(Your turn to see the stone and then your turn to burn)
     Em        C       D
The stone it calls to you                   
    G   Em    C   Em    C   C    D  D
(You can't refuse to do the things it tells you to)   
     Em       C        D       G     C       Em   D
And as the screaming fire engine siren fills the air
      Em     C        D    G        C      Em  D
The evidence will vanish from your charred and smoking chair
Post Chorus 2:
     Em        D         G      C
And what they found was just a statue
Em       D          G     D      C     D
Standing where the statue got me high  
     Em        D         G      C
And what they'll find is just a statue  
Em       D          G     D      G
Standing where the statue got you high
