Dm                  Em    Dm                   Em          G         C
We've been driving around from one end of this town to the other and back
G                 A                              C       A
But no one's ever seen us, driving our Econoline van and no ones ever heard of our band

Chorus

          D      G    D G       D          Em                A
We're the Mesopotamians Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh!

Verse

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

Chorus

We're the Mesopotamians
G       D          Em                A
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh!

Verse

Dm                              Em
The mesopotamish sun is beating down
Dm                       Em
And making cracks in the ground
G                        C
But there's nowhere else to stand
   G          A
In Mesopotamia
(But no one's ever seen us)
A                    C
The kingdom where we secretly reign
(And no one's ever heard of our band)
A
The land where we invisibly rule

Chorus

       D    G      D
As the Mesopotamians
G       D          Em                A
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh

Verse

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

Chorus

      D    G     D
I'm a Mesopotamian
G        D         Em                A
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh
          D    G      D
We're the Mesopotamians
G       D          Em                A
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh

Bridge

G         D         Em            G
Hey, man, I thought that you were dead
C             B            C
I thought you crashed your car
E        G         A          A
No, man, I've been right here this whole time
E7           A
Playing bass guitar

Chorus

        D    G      D
For the Mesopotamians
G       D          Em
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal
