[Verse]
[
A augmentedA] Woke up this morning and the [
BB] streets were full of cars
[
D MajorD] All bright and shiny like they'd [A augmentedA] just arrived from mars
[A augmentedA] And as I stumbled through last [BB] night's drunken debris
[D MajorD] The paperboy screamed out the [A augmentedA] headlines in the street
[Pre-Chorus - 0:14]
[
E minorEm] Another war and now the [D MajorD] pound is looking weak
[
C majorC] And tell me have you read a-[
B minorBm]-bout the latest freak
[E minorEm] We're bingo numbers and our [D MajorD] names are obsolete
[C majorC] Why do I feel bitter, when I [BB] should be feelin' sweet
[Chorus - 0:30] (power chords)
Hello [
E MajorE] hello, [
C# minorC#m] turn your radio [
G# minorG#m] on [BB]
Is there [E MajorE] anybody out there, [C# minorC#m] help me sing my [G# minorG#m] song [BB]
La-la-la [
F# minorF#m] life is a strange thing [G# minorG#m]
[A augmentedA] Just when you think you [BB] know how to use it, it's [E MajorE] gone.
Hint:
Strum the A augmentedA only once, don't play the BB (it's only played by the bass). Then strum
the E MajorE once and play the following fill-in, which leads to the second verse.

[Verse - 0:55]
[A augmentedA] Woke up this morning and my [BB] head was in a dace
[D MajorD] A augmentedA brave new world has dawned up-[A augmentedA]-on the human race
[A augmentedA] Where words are meaningless and [BB] everything's surreal
[D MajorD] Gonna have to reach my friends to [A augmentedA] find out how I feel
[Pre-Chorus - 1:09]
[E minorEm] And if I taste the honey, [D MajorD] is it really sweet
[C majorC] And do I eat it with my [B minorBm] hands or with my feet
[E minorEm] Does anybody really [D MajorD] listen when I speak
[C majorC] Or will I have to say it [BB] all again next week
[Chorus - 1:25] (power chords)
Hello [E MajorE] hello, [C# minorC#m] turn your radio [G# minorG#m] on [BB]
Is there [E MajorE] anybody out there, [C# minorC#m] help me sing my [G# minorG#m] song [BB]
Hello [E MajorE] hello, [C# minorC#m] turn your radio [G# minorG#m] on [BB]
Is there [E MajorE] anybody out there, [C# minorC#m] tell me what went [G# minorG#m] wrong [BB]
