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?

Opening riff:

D             D#   D            D#  G            G#

[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

Bb  A
Way down inside

D   A  F    D  A  F   D#  A  F  [twice]

    D        A     F
I'm checking out inventions
       D A    F         D#  A  F
at the UFO convention tonight
D       A        F              D
Planes above the Hilton make it sunny
A          F       D#   A  F
Brought my money tonight
           D      A    F
Blue blond ladies of abduction
          D       A    F           D#  A  F
strumming guitars of instruction tonight
         D    A  F
A lot of wannabe truckers
       D         A   F         F#
Making eyes with starfuckers tonight

[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

D       F#
Sleep machine
D       F#
In your silo
D      F#
Transmarine
D             F#
Things you've never seen

D         Am   B     F     D#
Parry the wind high, low

[Repeat to fade]
