SONG: The Garbageman
ARTIST: No Odd Reason
ALBUM: International Dateline (1998, Toolshed Recordings)
Song written by: Jon Meyer and Daniel Field
Lyrics by: Daniel Field
This is a VERY simple song. It has only about four chords in it and
is really really catchy. Like I Know and No Brain, it's a few simple
riffs constructed together to make a song. It's played with a light
distortion.
Intro: (after resting four bars)

REPEAT X2
The whole verse is on a G.
Words:
He wakes up at 4 a.m.
Just to do his job.
He isn't a poor guy.
But he isn't a slob.
Prechorus:
F G
Leave your bags out he'll do the rest,
F
For a living he does his best,
G
He doesn't like it but he gets payed
So he can live life his own way.
Chorus: Riff A with these lyrics:
Have sympathy
For the garbageman
He does what he should
So lets give him a hand.
Verse 2:
He ain't got a social life
'Cause he smells real bad,
He's got no real family,
So it makes him real sad.
Then you go to the prechorus, then the chorus, then it starts all over
again. After that there's a bridge. It goes:
E|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-------------------|G
B|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-------------------|U
G|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-------------------|I
D|-5--5--5--5--5---|-5--X--X---------|-5--5--5--5--5---|--5---X---X--------|T
A|-5--5--5--5--5---|-5--X--X---------|-5--5--5--5--5---|--5---X---X--------|A
E|-3--3--3--3--3---|-3--X--X---------|-3--3--3--3--3---|--3---X---X--------|R
Repeat X2
Then the chorus again.
