A beautifully haunting little ballad by EC&A. One of my faves from Goodbye Cruel
World, and it was pretty easy to figure out. Song is in 3/4 time and the key of D Major.

Verse 1:
DOut of the aeroplane stepped Chamberlain with a condemned man's stare
But Dwe all cheered wildly, a Dphotograph was taken,
as he D7waved a piece of paper in the aGir
Em Em/D# Em7 A
Now the Disco Machine lives in Munich and we are all friends
And I A7slip on my Italian dancing shoes as the evening Adescends
Chorus:
D Dmaj7 D6 D7/A
And the bells take their toll once again in victory chime
And Gwe can thank BmGod that we've Emfinally Agot
peace in Dour time
Verse 2:
There's a Dman going round taking names no
matter who you claim to be
As iDnnocent as babies, a mad dog with rabies,
you're D7still a part of some conspiraGcy
Em Em/D#
Meanwhile there's a light over the ocean
burning brighter than the Em7sun A
And a A7man sits alone in a bar and says "Oh God,
what have we doAne?"

There's alA7ready one spaceman in the White
