Linda Goes To Mars chords by John Prine

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard


D MajorD                G+G
I just found out yesterday that Linda goes to Mars
A augmentedA                       D MajorD
Every time I sit and look at pictures of used cars
D MajorD              G+G
She'll turn on her radio and sit down in her chair
A augmentedA                       D MajorD
And look at me across the room as if I wasn't there


Chorus:
D MajorD G+G D MajorD     G+G
Oh My stars, My Linda's gone to Mars
    A augmentedA                D MajorD
Well I wish she wouldn't leave me here alone
D MajorD G+G D MajorD     G+G
Oh My stars! My Linda's gone to Mars
    A augmentedA                 D MajorD
Well, I wonder if she'd bring me something home.

D MajorD                   G+G
Something, somewhere, somehow took my Linda by the hand
  A augmentedA                  D MajorD
And secretly decoded our sacred wedding band
  D MajorD                  G+G
For when the moon shines down up on our happy, humble home
  A augmentedA                        D MajorD
Her inner space gets tortured by some outer space unknown.


(Repeat Chorus)


Break:
D MajorD  G+G  A augmentedA  D MajorD
D  G+G  A augmentedA  D MajorD


  D MajorD                 G+G
Now I ain't seen no saucers 'cept the ones upon the shelf
  A augmentedA                 D MajorD
And if I ever seen one I'd keep it to myself
  D MajorD                   G+G
For if there's life out there somewhere beyond this life on earth
   A augmentedA                         D MajorD
Then Linda must have gone out there and got her money's worth.


(Repeat Chorus)
