           A5
Well I'm a stranger here in this place called Earth
and I was sent down here to discover the worth
        D5
Of your little blue planet third from the sun
A5
Come on and show me what you've done

(main riff 2X)
              A5
We've got the aero plane, we've got the automobile
We've got sky scrapin' buildings made of glass and steel
           D5
We've got synthetic food that nearly tastes real
       E5
And a little white pill that makes you feel "Hey!"
   A5
A whole lot better when you get outta bed
You take one in the mornin' for the long day ahead
          D5
We've got everything everybody needs to survive
E5
Surely the good life has arrived

  A5
I think your atmosphere is hurting my eyes
         D5
And your concrete mountains are blacking out the skies
       B5
Now I don't say that you've been telling me lies
     E5
But why do I hear those children's cries
      A5
I'm a stranger here, I'm just looking around
          A5
I see the aero planes carrying the bombs
            D5
Why, you've even found people to drop them on
     B5
You know you can't keep what you take by force
     E5
But it's only my first impression of course
    A5
And I'm a stranger here on the planet Earth
(main riff 2X)
              A5
We've got the rivers and the mountains and the valleys and the trees
We've got the birds in the sky, we've got the fish in the sea
                 D5            G5                        C5
We've got the... Oh you crazy fools don't you know you had it made
                    F5
You were living in Paradise
    D5                                           G5
But take it from one who knows.. Who knows the gates of Heaven can close
C5                                             E5
I only pray that you take my advice... Because Paradise won't come twice
     A5
Well I'm a stranger here in this place called Earth
And I was sent down here to discover the worth
        D5
Of your little blue planet third from the sun
             A5
I think I'll go back home where I come from

(main riff 4X)
