Particle Man Lyrics

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
from the album version. Listen to the recording for strumming patterns, etc.
Particle man, particle man
Doing the things a particle can
What's he like? It's not important
Particle man
Is he a dot, or is he a speck?
When he's underwater does he get wet?
Or does the water get him instead?
Nobody knows, Particle man
(slight pause while acordian plays--guitar holds out C chord)
Triangle man, Triangle man
Triangle man hates particle man
They have a fight, Triangle wins
Triangle man
(bridge with acordian solo--the guitar just plays C for a while, then G then C)
Universe man, Universe man
Size of the entire universe man
Usually kind to smaller man
Universe man
He's got a watch with a minute hand,
Millenium hand and an eon hand
When they meet it's a happy land
Powerful man, universe man
(slight pause while acordian plays softly strum C)
Person man, person man
Hit on the head with a frying pan
Lives his life in a garbage can
Person man
Is he a mess or is he depressed?
Does he feel totally worthless?
Who came up with person man?
Degraded man, person man
(slight pause while acordian plays--guitar holds out C chord)
Triangle man, triangle man
Triangle man hates person man
They have a fight, triangle wins
Triangle man
(then the same accordian solo plays twice and the song ends)
