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

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

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

(main riff 4X)
