Tally Hall is a rock band formed in 2002 at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI. Famed for their unique, quirky sound and distinct uniform of colored ties, white shirts, and black pants, Tally Hall rapidly became a fixture of the local music scene, selling out shows at the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor and picking up a cult following around the country through their inventive music videos and charismatic stage presence. Their use of social media helped them gain a following early on as well
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
AD The truck that he drives around, is custom-painted on the driver’s side AD He keeps it cleaner than clean, and pays a guy to wax the under-parts AD She eats her dinner in bed, and watches local news to fall asleep GEmD He’s on the road for a week or two, and he calls at dinner-time
Verse 2: AD The truck got busted up good, a three-car accident he didn’t cause AD And with the rig in the shop, he got a break he didn’t ask for AD They ate their dinner in bed, and watched the local news to fall asleep GEmD She got so good at the lonely parts, it was hard to start again

Verse 3:
AD The TV’s broken again, static on the screen AD And once he’s back on the road, the house is getting cleaned AD She leaves her dinner in bed to walk around the house and look for him GEmD She couldn’t tell he was gone again so she throws his dinner out
