Yo La Tengo
Let's Save Tony Orlando's House
And then nothing turned itself inside-out (2000)
Its a simple, but lovely song. I added the bass tab because I love it.

"We Proudly Welcome Tony Orlando"
Fmaj7 Ebmaj7
The state fair marquee reads
Fmaj7 Ebmaj7 Fmaj7
Inside, a thousand people with yellow ribbons sing
Ebmaj7
And clap on 1 and 3
Fmaj7
Watch him burn
Ebmaj7
He's dropping to his knees
Fmaj7
Watch him burn
Ebmaj7
A medley: hits from Grease
Fmaj7
Watch him burn
Ebmaj7 Bb Gm
He never fails to please
[Main Riff]
Fmaj7 Ebmaj7
Meanwhile in Tahoe outside Casa Tony
Fmaj7 Ebmaj7
Wet rags of gasoline
Fmaj7 Ebmaj7 Fmaj7
A jealous Frankie Valli says, "Dawn, I want you back"
Ebmaj7
Lights a match and counts to three
Fmaj7
Watch it burn
Ebmaj7
Reluctantly he leaves
Fmaj7
Watch it burn
Ebmaj7
Acrid smoke making him wheeze
Fmaj7
Watch it burn
Ebmaj7 Bb Gm
Humming "Sherry," splits the scene
{Main Riff]
Fmaj7
Watch it burn
Ebmaj7
Reluctantly he leaves
Fmaj7
Watch it burn
Ebmaj7
Acrid smoke making him wheeze
Fmaj7
Watch it burn
Ebmaj7 Bb Gm
Humming "Sherry," splits the scene
{Main Riff]
"We're sorry to inform you
Tony Orlando has been postponed."
