Kings Of The Cave

By: They Might Be Giants

Key: A Major

Year: 1985

A Air in a jar A Thousand feet from Madagascar A Coming to a lateral skid B E After cruising much further than you can in a car A Mission ahead A Take me to the animal's den A Got to get a getaway going B C# Got to take to a lake to the far-away corners C# F# G# C# Of the Kings of the Cave F# G# C# Nothing left to save F# G# Situation grave That's the base form of the chord progression. On each iteration, the chords go up by one half-step (which is very cool, creating symmetry in the way the verse enters the chorus and the way the chorus enters the verse, and still progressing the song forward.) A# Quiet and clear A# No one else is anywhere near A# Hear a little rumble down south C F Got to find some creature I can kill with a spear A# Got no to-go A# No restaurants as far as I know A# Get a little help from Friday C D Got to get proficient at the age-old skills D G A D of the Kings of the Cave G A D Food is all you crave G A Never have to shave B Air in a jar B Thousand feet from Madagascar B Coming to a lateral skid C# F# After cruising much further than you can in a car B Mission ahead B Take me to the animal's den B Got to get a getaway going C# D# Got to get provisions to the far-away corners D# G# A# D# Of the Kings of the Cave G# A# D# Nothing left to save G# A# G# Situation grave A# G# A# D# Kings of the Cave
