The Mesopotamians They Might Be Giants
Song The Mesopotamians
Verse 1:
[Dm]We've been driving a[Gm]round
[Dm] [Gm] [Bb] [C]
[Bb]But no one's e[F]ver seen us ([Bb]No one's e[F]ver s[Bb]een us)
[Bb]Driving our Ec[F]onoline [Bb]van (And no one's ever heard of our band)
And [C]no one's ever heard of our ba[A]nd
Chorus:
We're the Mesopo[D]ta-[D(C#)] mi - [Bm]ans
Sa[Bm(A]rgon, Ham[G]murabi, A[Gsus4(F#)]shurbani -[Em]pal, and Gi[A]lgamesh
Bridge:
[D]Then they w[D(C#)]ouldn't understand[Bm] a [Bm(A)]word we s[G]ay,
[Gm]So we'll scratch it all down into the [F#m]clay
[B]Half believing there will sometime come a [Em]day someone gives a damn
[A]Maybe when the concrete has crumbled to sand
Chorus:
We're the Mesopota-mi -ans
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbani -pal, and Gilgamesh
Bridge:
The Mesopotam-ish sun is beating down
[Dm]And making cracks in the gr[Gm]ound
[Bb]But there's nowhere else to st[C]and
[Bb]In Mesopo[F]ta[Bb]mia, ([Bb]No one's ever s[F]een [Bb]us)
The k[Bb]ingdom where we s[F]ecretl[Bb]y reign ([C]And no one's ever heard of our band)
[A]The land where we invisibly rule
Chorus:
As the Mesopota-mi -ans
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbani -pal, and Gilgamesh
Bridge:
[D]This is my last[Bm] stick of gum
I'm going to [Em]cut it up so everybody e[G]lse gets some
[F#m]Except for Ashurbanipal who s[B]ays my haircut ma[C]kes me look like aM[A]ohenjodaroan
[A]Hey, Ashurbanipal,
Chorus:
I'm a Mesopota-mi -an
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbani -pal, and Gilgamesh
We're the Mesopota-mi -ans
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbani -pal, and Gilgamesh
Bridge:
"Hey, man, I th[G]ought that you were d[Em]ead
I tho[C]ught you crashed your [Am]car"
"No, [Em]man, I've been right he[A]re this whole time pl[Em]aying bass gu[A]itar
For the Mesopotamians"
Chorus:
We're the Mesopota-mi -ans
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh
We're the Mesopota-mi -ans
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh
