Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
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]
G Bm C
There was darkness, there was light
D G
There was day and there was night
Bm C D
There was wrong and there was right
[Chorus]
(D) G
And then there was me
Bm C D
You didn't even know me but you treated me like dirt
G
And then there was me
Bm C D
You didn't even know me but you called me a jerk
G Bm C D
And then there was meeeeeee
[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]
Em
I don't have hands
D C
Across the galaxy, I flew
G Bm Em
Heard a peaceful message sent by you
D C
Now I find you're judged by color and size
D
I can't believe 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]
Am
So if you're thinking about being a spaceman
C G
It won't matter if you're black or white
Bm C D G
Or purple or green or blue or red
Bm C D G
Or yellow with polka dots on your head
Bm C D G
Or made of snow, or made of wheat
Bm C D G
Or looking like something that's kind of a treat
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.]
