Rabid Child by They Might Be Giants

[Convention: each chord is four beats/a full measure.  A dash indicates that
 the chord is held for another measure; two chords with a slash between
 them are held for two beats/half a measure each.

 This song is a bit easier to play if you raise it a couple semitones:

     Rabid Child stays at home talks on a cb
truckers pass calling out their handles to the kid
Chess Piece Face and the Big Duluth call her every day
"hammer down" and "rabbit ears" are the only words they know


Ab
Hammer down
Rabbit ears


Bb                 D               Eb               C
  If you pass the Rabid Child say "hammer down" for me

Ab -            D  -
    the Rabid Child

           Bb  -
