TRIPTAPHANE by They Might Be Giants
Ariana* (Really transcription by the ever-lovable Curiosity)
A friend taught me to play this really obscure THey Might Be Giants song
that I have no clue what album its off of. THe strumming is even
throughout the song.

F     C
Triptaphane
      F
I was wrong
        C
It's an ordinary
F         C
day Triptaphane
    F
It began
          C
and I was feeling
       F
like I am
         G
>From the land of the birds

Its another day I'm sure
          C         F
And I was mad til I found
          C          F
THere was more to go around
       C   Bb
Triptaphane
     C          F
All alone I was wrong
             C              F
And there's much more going on
        C
In my veins
        F
In my mind
          C            F
And in my chemistry I find
     G
All alone unaware

By the concrete in the air
        C         F
Like a swan on a lake
         C            F
I'll not call back my mistakes
      C     Bb    C
Triptaphane
