I've Got A Fang

By: They Might Be Giants

Key: G Minor

Year: 2001

Tabbed By: Chris 'RatHat' Lovins (god_emperor77@yahoo.com)

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. e----------------------------------------------------------------- B----------------------------------------------------------------- G----------------------------------------------------------------- D----------------------------------------------------------------- A--------------------0-1-0-----------------------------0-1-------- E-3--1--3--1--3----3-------3-0-1----3--1--3--1--3----3-----3-3---- Intro: Bb5 [x133xx] C5 [x355xx] Sig. riff Verse 1: Glistening white triangular tooth Open up the can of tomato juice (Sig. riff) Chorus: Bb5 [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. -------------------------------------------------------
