Really not that many chords for this song out there. Figured I'd share these. Hope you enjoy!
Standard Tuning
Capo on the 2nd fret
[Verse 1]
GThere was Bmdarkness, there was Clight
There was Dday and there was Gnight
There was Bmwrong and there was Cright D
[Chorus]
(D) G
And then there was me
You didn't even Bmknow me but you Ctreated me like Ddirt
And then there was Gme
You didn't even kBmnow me but you Ccalled me a jDerk
And then there was GmeeBmeeeeCe D
[Verse 2]
I'm from a planet near a star
You wouldn't know, it's very far
They're calling me the man from Mars
[Chorus]
But I think they're insulting me
They tried to take my special suit
(Insulting me)
They say my head looks like fruit
(What is fruit?)
(Insulting me)
Put your hands up or I'll shoot!
[Bridge]
I don't have Emhands
Across the gDalaxy, I fClew
Heard a peaceful mGessage sBment by yEmou
Now I find you're jDudged by color and Csize
I can't bDelieve what you called my...
[Verse 3]
I'm the guy who sailed the sky, but I think I'd like to live here
Like to share your mountains, share your trees and share your rivers
I've never seen so many beings of so many colours
I'd like one day for you to say that I could call you brothers
[Chorus]
(And then there was we)
I'd like to learn about your pizza and your weather
(And then there was we)
Then we could learn about how beings live together
(And then there was we)
[Coda]
So if you're tAmhinking about being a spaceman
It won't Cmatter if you're black or Gwhite
Or Bmpurple or Cgreen or Dblue or rGed
Or Bmyellow with Cpolka dots Don your Ghead
Or Bmmade of sCnow, or Dmade of wGheat
Or Bmlooking like Csomething that'sD kind of a Gtreat
Bm C
I like your hat... [It fades out here, but you can just play the Bm, C, D, G
progression a couple times until the end.]
