I've Got A Fang

by They Might Be Giants

This is a pretty simple song, yet it was one of my

favourites by

TMBG. The version I'm tabbing here is the unreleased

version from

Dial-A-Song. The recording from the album Mink Car is

very similar,

only it has a small instrumental section--rather

different from the

rest of the song--at which I cannot even begin to

guess.

This is the song's signature riff. I believe the bass

plays along

with the guitar. The bass riff might be different in

terms of where

it is played on the neck, but I'm sure the notes are

the same.

Intro:

A#5 [x133xx] C5 [x355xx] Sig. riff

Verse 1:

Glistening white triangular tooth

Open up the can of tomato juice (Sig. riff)

Chorus:

A#5 [x133xx]

I've Got A Fang

C5 [x355xx]

I've Got A Fang

Sig. riff

I've Got A Fang

This is the entire song, repeated with different

lyrics or sometimes

with no lyrics, but each part is played the same way.

As you can see,

the guitar and bass rest for much of the song. Now if

anyone

would like to take a crack at the interlude on the

album version,

he is welcome to do so. Suggestions, especially

regarding the bass

part, are welcome.
