Chords for They Might Be Giants - The Mesopotamians (Official Audio)

_ We've been [Gm] driving around _
[Dm] from one [Gm] end of this town to [Bb] the _ other [C] and back
[Bb] But no one's ever seen us _ _
_ [F] Driving our [C] economy _ _
[A] And no one's ever heard of our band
And no one's ever heard of our band
[D] We're the _ Mesopotamians
_ [G] _ _ [E] _ _
[G] Sargon, [D] Hammurabi, [G] _ [A] Ashurbanipal and Gilgamesh

So we'll scratch [Eb] it [Gm] all down into [Gbm] the day
Half [B] believing there will sometime [C] come a day
Someone gives [A] a damn
Maybe we're in the concrete
As crumbs to sand
We're [D] the _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ [E] Mesopotamians
[G] Sargon, [D] Hammurabi, _ [Em] Ashurbanipal [A] and _ _ Gilgamesh
_ [Dm] The _ Mesopotamish sun is [Gm] beating down _ _
[Dm] And making cracks [Gm] in the ground
But [Bb] there's [F] nowhere else [C] to _ stand [Bb] The _ _ Mesopotamians
No one's ever seen us
The kingdom where we [C] secretly reign
And no one's ever heard [A] of our band
The land where we're invisible
As the [D] _
_ _ _ _ [G] Mesopotamians
[A] _
[G] Sargon, [D] Hammurabi, _ [Em] Ashurbanipal [A] and _
[D] Gilgamesh
This is my [Bm] last stick of gum
I'm gonna make it through
[Em] I'm gonna party up so [Gm] everybody else gets some
[Gbm] Except for [B] Ashurbanipal who says my haircut
[C] Makes me look like [A] a Mohenjo-Darwin
