Verse 1: (0:34-)

|D5|
  Built in the belly of junk by the river my cabin stands
|D5|
  Made from the trash I dug out 'the heap, with my own fair hands

|C#m7                |
   Every night, I'm back at the shack and I'm sure no one is there
|C |
   I'm putting the aerial up, so I can go out 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                     |               |
 Leaving   the   car    down leafy lane
 Turning out Tarzan for my Jungle Jane

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

|A             |
     Oh it's not easy, no no no
|B     |   ||
 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-)
