It's a simple song, so I'll let you work out the strumming. The timings aren't
100% accurate, I've mostly timed the chords by the vocal line.
Ezra plays the chords as follows, in standard tuning:
F: 320033
F/C: 332010 (though don't stress the low G too much)
Dm: 022000
C/E: x20033
G/D: x00232 (I know you probably just think of this as a D chord, but technically it's D/A)
F F/C x 4
FThere is life on this pF/Clanet
And I know because I've Dmseen it
It is waiting in the sC/Elimiest of SG/Daturday nFights
There's a white haunted F/Cmoon
Hanging over the lagDmoon
It was made for a C/Emoment just sG/Duch as F/Cthis
There is love in the eFyes of the bG/Dirds and F/Cbees
There are plastic bFags in subG/Durban tF/Crees
Keep your eyes open Dmall the time
And I tG/Dhink you'll find there's no pF/Clace to hide
And the wDmorld is aG/Dlive
(Between the verses, strum a few times with all the strings muted with your left hand)
FThere are sailors on the F/Cocean
Little kids with crazy nDmotions
And their heads are gonna C/Espin like a tGornado
FThere's a Bible by the F/CTV
And the curtains blowing fDmreely
In this hotel room C/Emake my hGeart do fFlips
F\F F G C/F
There's a bush that burns but is not consumed
There's a glass of mFilk in an Gempty F/Croom
There's a song at the hDmeart of it all
And we aGll try hard just to wF/Crite it down
But you cDman't write it dGown
F F/C x4
End on G
