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]
There was darkness, there was light
There was day and there was night
There was wrong and there was right
[Chorus]
()
And then there was me
You didn t even know me but you treated me like dirt
And then there was me
You didn t even know me but you called me a jerk
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]
I don t have hands
Across the galaxy, I flew
Heard a peaceful message sent by you
Now I find you re judged by color and size
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]
So if you re thinking about being a spaceman
It won t matter if you re black or white
Or purple or green or blue or red
Or yellow with polka dots on your head
Or made of snow, or made of wheat
Or looking like something that s kind of a treat
I like your hat... [It fades out here, but you can just play the , , ,
progression a couple times until the end.]
