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]
FThere was Dmdarkness, there was Flight
There was Gday and there was Fnight
There was Dmwrong and there was Fright G
[Chorus]
(G) F
And then there was me
You didn't even Dmknow me but you Ftreated me like Gdirt
And then there was Fme
You didn't even kDmnow me but you Fcalled me a jGerk
And then there was FmeeDmeeeeFe G
[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 Dmhands
Across the gGalaxy, I fFlew
Heard a peaceful mFessage sDment by yDmou
Now I find you're jGudged by color and Fsize
I can't bGelieve 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 tDmhinking about being a spaceman
It won't Fmatter if you're black or Fwhite
Or Dmpurple or Fgreen or Gblue or rFed
Or Dmyellow with Fpolka dots Gon your Fhead
Or Dmmade of sFnow, or Gmade of wFheat
Or Dmlooking like Fsomething that'sG kind of a Ftreat
Dm F
I like your hat... [It fades out here, but you can just play the Dm, F, G, F
progression a couple times until the end.]
