Particle Man They Might Be Giants
Particle Man (live acoustic version)
They Might Be Giants
This is a great little tune by They Might Be Giants, but I haven't seen any tabs or chords for it out there,
so I decided to do it myself :).
This is my first attempt at doing a song--sorry for any mistakes! (but it sounds pretty close when I play it)
This was done from the live acoustic version on 120 Minutes on MTV, but it shouldn't be too different
[C]Particle man, particle man
[C]Doing the things [G]a particle can
[F]What's he like? [C]It's not important
[C]Particle man
[C]Is he a dot, [F]or is he a speck?
[G]When he's underwater does [C]he get wet?
[F]Or does the water get [G]him instead?
[F]Nobody knows, [C]Particle man
(slight pause while acordian plays--guitar holds out C chord)
[C]Triangle man, Triangle man
[C]Triangle man hates [G]particle man
[F]They have a fight, [C]Triangle wins
[C]Triangle man
(bridge with acordian solo--the guitar just plays C for a while, then G then C)
[C]Universe man, Universe man
[C]Size of the entire [G]universe man
[F]Usually kind to [C]smaller man
[C]Universe man
[C]He's got a watch with a [F]minute hand,
[G]Millenium hand and an [C]eon hand
[F]When they meet it's a [G]happy land
[F]Powerful man, [C]universe man
(slight pause while acordian plays softly strum C)
[C]Person man, person man
[C]Hit on the head with a [G]frying pan
[F]Lives his life in a [C]garbage can
[C]Person man
[C]Is he a mess or [F]is he depressed?
[G]Does he feel totally [C]worthless?
[F]Who came up with [G]person man?
[F]Degraded man, [C]person man
(slight pause while acordian plays--guitar holds out C chord)
[C]Triangle man, triangle man
[C]Triangle man hates [G]person man
[F]They have a fight, [C]triangle wins
[C]Triangle man
(then the same accordian solo plays twice and the song ends)
