Band:    Less Than Jake
Album:   Anthem
Song:    That's Why They Call It A Union (Track 11)

After buying Less Than Jake's new album Anthem (which, by the way, is brilliant) I decided
I wanted to tab as many of the songs from the album as possible, so I started with this great
song.

I also have tabs for The Brightest Bulb Has Burned Out, but it wont let me put it on because 

supposedly 'the name is offensive' and now I'm banned from posting more tabs :- and mxtabs 
hasn't replied to my emails yet.

THIS IS MY FIRST EVER PROPERLY TABBED SONG SO BEWARE!

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture John Lead Player	#1 by John Fitch at May 12, 1980 at 9:58 PM EST
	Definitely about parents.. The dad can't take care of the family the way he needs to... He'd rather leave than cause his son more problems and force him to be in the house with all the fighting

No Picture Neal Average	#2 by Neal Breen at Jun 24, 1988 at 1:17 PM EST
	Precisely.... and the really scary thing is that I can't remember at all writing that last message... But if this song was about divorce, it would sort of tie in with Escape From The A-Bomb House from the same album.

No Picture (DDD Bass Gu Rhythm Player	#3 by (DDD Bass Guitar/Backup Vocals) Jeff Fritts at Jan 24, 1991 at 3:50 PM EST
	Christ? Either that was a typo or you like Less Than Jake a little too much... I thought this was about some guy looking back on his childhood when his parents divorced and he starts to feel like it was his own fault that they broke up.

No Picture michael Wanna Be	#4 by michael Dittrich at Apr 5, 1993 at 3:21 AM EST
	lol when i read christ i thought "woah the meaning went right over my head" but yea i agree i think its about parents

No Picture David Average	#5 by David Eldridge at Sep 8, 1996 at 10:33 AM EST
	To me it sounds like hes leaving the family because they always argue and hes asking them too forgive him for leaving.

No Picture Josh Average	#6 by Josh Sanchez at Feb 8, 1999 at 9:27 AM EST
	yeah definitely about parents getting divorced. marriage is called a union.

No Picture matt Average	#7 by matt spolsky at Jul 8, 2002 at 4:23 PM EST
	the songs about families and how they fight until the dad leave and the mums left alone with the child and thats why they call it a union says it all
