This might be easier to play if you tune down a step.  I think 
that's how it's done on the record.  The closing progression 
was a bitch to figure, but I think I have it.  Anyone have any 
idea who Desmond Dekker is?

{With opening riff} 
And if a ship meets your car 
You know you can't go real far 
Well they could treat you real nice 
Or put a tracking device

{opening riff again} 
 
I've got my hands on some sights 

Electric glasses with lights 

They got me feeling deluxe 

For just a couple of bucks 
Bb  A 
Way down inside 
 
I'm getting patterns from a trekker 

And it sounds like soul records to me 

They're waving hi from some gazebo 

Waving on to Arecibo to me 

I'm getting patterns from a trekker 

And it sounds like soul records to me 

I'm getting patterns from a trekker 

And it sounds like Desmond Dekker to me

In your silo

Things you've never seen 
D         Am   B     F     D# 
Parry the wind high, low
