Verse 1: (0:34-)

|D5D5|
 Built in the belly of junk by the river my cabin stands
|D5D5|
 Made from the trash I dug out 'the heap, with my own fair hands

|C#m7C#m7        |
  Every night, I'm back at the shack and I'm sure no one is there
|C majorC |
  I'm putting the aerial up, so I can go out on the   air

|Cmaj7-5 ||7/4

Chorus: (1:05-)

|BB        |
(On  the  air) - on the air
|E MajorE        ||4/4
(On  the  air) - on the air
|E/A |  ||
 On  the  air______

(Intro) (1:16-)


[Verse 2] (1:20-)

 Every morning I'm out at dawn with the dwarfs and the tramp
 For a silent communion lit from above by the sodium lamps

 Everyone I meet out on the street acts as if I wasn't there
 But they're all going to know who I am 'cos I can go out on the air

(Chorus) (1:51-)


Bridge: (2:02-)
~~~~~~~
|A augmentedA           |        |
 Leaving  the  car  down leafy lane
 Turning out Tarzan for my Jungle Jane

|F#F#           |         |
 anyone at all,  from Captain Zero and
 his brand of superhero, standing by a call

|A augmentedA       |
   Oh it's not easy, no no no
|BB   |  ||
 No, no it's not easy making real friends


(Intro) (2:27-)


[Verse 3] (2:46-)

 Don't you give me your steak-reared milkboys, milkboys
 Half alive on empty white noise, white noise

 I got power, I'm proud to be loud; my signal goes out clear,
 I want everybody to know that Mozo is here


(Chorus) (3:16-)


Coda: (3:27-)
