Ana Ng They Might Be Giants
Song :: "Ana Ng"
Artist :: They Might Be Giants
Album :: Lincoln (1988)
Tabbed By :: Brandon Karcic
Loosely based on previous tab by KingCrimsonRHCP
My favorite TMBG song, and one of my favorite music videos too. The previous tab was
good, but I'm fairly certain this one is perfect, and can be played right along with the
track. At the end of the chorus, the "Am G C G" get one strum a piece on the beat, and
they're a little quick. Practice it a couple times to get the movement down, and it's not too
rough. Otherwise, fun and easy song.

[Em]Make a hole with a g[C]un perpend[D]icular
[Em]To the name of this to[C]wn in a de[D]sktop globe
[E]Exit wound in a f[Am]ore[G]ign n[C]ati[G]on
[D]Showing the home of the o[C]ne this was w[D]ritten for
[Em]My apartment looks u[C]pside d[D]own from there
[Em]Water spirals the wr[C]ong way o[D]ut the sink
[E]And her voice is a b[Am]ackw[G]ards r[C]ec[G]ord
[D]It's like a whirlpool a[C]nd it n[D]ever ends

[G]Ana N[C]g and I a[D]re getting old and we st[C]ill haven't walked
[G]In the glow [Bb]of each other's m[C]ajest[D]ic presence
[G]Listen A[C]na hear [D]my words, they're the o[C]nes you would think
[G]I would say [Bb]if there was a m[C]e for y[D]ou
:: VERSE 2 ::
[Em]All alone at the [C]'6[D]4 World's Fair
[Em]Eighty dolls yelling "Sm[C]all girl af[D]ter all"
[E]Who was at the Dup[Am]ont P[G]av[C]il[G]ion?
[D]Why was the bench still w[C]arm? Who had b[D]een there?
[Em]Or the time when the st[C]orm tangled u[D]p the wire
[Em]To the horn on the po[C]le at the b[D]us depot
[E]And in the back of the e[Am]dge o[G]f h[C]ear[G]ing
[D]These are the words that the vo[C]ice was rep[D]eating:

(Similar to Verse Chords)
[Em]They don't need me h[C]ere, and I k[D]now you're there
[Em]Where the world goes b[C]y like the hu[D]mid air
[E]And it sticks like a b[Am]rok[G]en r[C]eco[G]rd
[D]Everything sticks like a b[Am]rok[G]en r[C]eco[G]rd
