They Might Be Giants – Ana Ng chords

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.

C           D              G        D      CWhen I was driving once I saw this painted on a bridge:
C                 D      G       D         C"I don't want the world, I just want your half"
