Dm Dm                  Gm Gm
We've been driving around
Dm Dm Gm Gm Bb Bb C C
From one end of this town to the other and back
Bb Bb F/A F/A Bb Bb F/A F/A Bb Bb
But no one's ever seen us (No one's ever seen us)
Bb Bb F/A F/A Bb Bb C C
Driving our Econoline van (And no one's ever heard of our band)
A A
And no one's ever heard of our band

D D D/C# D/C# G/B G/B
We're the Mesopota-mi -ans
D/A D/A G G D/F# D/F# Em Em A A
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbani -pal, and Gilgamesh

D D Bm Bm Em Em
Then they wouldn't understand a word we say,
Gm Gm F#m F#m
So we'll scratch it all down into the clay
B B C C
Half believing there will sometime come a day
Someone gives a damn
A A
Maybe when the concrete has crumbled to sand

D D D/C# D/C# G/B G/B
We're the Mesopota-mi -ans
D/A D/A G G D/F# D/F# Em Em Asus4 Asus4
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbani -pal, and Gilgamesh

Dm Dm Gm Gm
The Mesopotam-ish sun is beating down
Dm Dm Gm Gm
And making cracks in the ground
Bb Bb C C
But there's nowhere else to stand
Bb Bb F/A F/A Bb Bb F/A F/A Bb Bb
In Mesopotamia, (No one's ever seen us)
Bb Bb F/A F/A Bb Bb C C
The kingdom where we secretly reign (And no one's ever heard of our band)
A A
The land where we invisibly rule

D D D/C# D/C# G/B G/B
As the Mesopota-mi -ans
D/A D/A G G D/F# D/F# Em Em A A
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbani -pal, and Gilgamesh

D D Bm Bm
This is my last stick of gum
Em Em Gm Gm
I'm going to cut it up so everybody else gets some
F#m F#m B B C C A A
Except for Ashurbanipal who says my haircut makes me look like a Mohenjo-daroan

A A
Hey, Ashurbanipal,
D D D/C# D/C# G/B G/B
I'm a Mesopota-mi -an
D/A D/A G G D/F# D/F# Em Em Asus4 Asus4
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbani -pal, and Gilgamesh

D D D/C# D/C# G/B G/B
We're the Mesopota-mi -ans

C C C/B C/B Am Am C/G C/G
I thought you crashed your car"

For the Mesopotamians"
