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

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

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

(main riff 4X)
