The Menzingers originally formed after the dissolution of Bob And The Sagets, a band local to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area of Pennsylvania. With the addition of Greg Barnett the band recorded a demo/self-released album "A Lesson In The Abuse Of Information Technology" in 2006.
Shortly thereafter they were signed by Go-Kart Records and re-recorded the songs from "A Lesson" and re-released their album with the addition of some new tracks.
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!

Tuning: Standard
Great song, by a great band. I strummed along to this and accidentally figured out the intro chord (G), so I decided to figure it out so I could play it just with my acoustic. May not be entirely accurate, but Its good enough for me.
Chords: G - 3-2-0-0-3-3-| Gmaj7 - 2-x-0-0-3-3-| Em7 - 0-2-2-0-3-3-| C - x-3-2-0-1-0-| Am - x-0-2-2-1-0-|
Intro: G
Verse:
(G) Blame the suits who lined their pockets with her tears, Gmaj7 Blame the boys in the blindfolds covering their ears, Em7 Blame the magazines she read,join the righteous waning side, C It was a misinterpretation of the neon signs.
Chorus:
G It was a rainy miserable Sunday, Gmaj7 Carried your cedar up the stairs, Em7 Collared man did his best to apologize, C But the damage it was done, she believed in all their lies.
Bridge:
GAm Id buy your soul, but I cant afford to pay girl, CG They say that you get nothing for free, (G) Am Your lipstick adorns my collar, CG While these thoughts of fire wrestle with me.
Verse:
(G) Then her father said to me, Gmaj7 Tom I cant ascribe a purpose to this atrocity, Em7 Trademark my messiah and call me an orderly, C I need 800 cups of Kool-Aid for my prophecy.
Chorus:
G It was a rainy miserable Sunday, Gmaj7 Carried your cedar up the stairs, Em7 Collared man did his best to apologize, C But the damage it was done, she believed in all their lies.
Bridge:
GAm Id buy your soul, but I cant afford to pay girl, CG They say that you get nothing for free, (G) Am Your lipstick adorns my collar, CG While these thoughts of fire wrestle with me.
Outro: (really quickly) G - Gmaj7 - G (end on this G)
