🎸 Verse 1:
Em                    Am
Back in ‘47 in the first week of July
           B                              Em
There was lightning in the desert and explosions in the sky
     E                          Am
An unknown flying object came crashing to the Earth
        B                                B  B7   E+   B   Em
And a cattleman named Brazel found the wreckage in   the dirt

🎸 Verse 2:
        Em                              Am
He gathered up some scraps and then he brought them into town
          B                            Em
And the people gazed in wonder at the marvel he had found
E                                   Am
Called the county sheriff and they called the air force base
      B                             B     B7 E+ B  Em
They called the DOD and then they called the C  I  A


🎸 Chorus:
         C                     G
There’s big news today out in Roswell
       C                 B    B7
That sleepy New Mexico town
    Em
And Major Marcel
F              C       B    B7  Em
What can you tell us about Roswell


🎸 Verse 3:
Em                                         Am
Well the Roswell Army Airfield sent their finest personnel
   B                         Em
A rank and file officer was young Major Marcel
    E                           Am
The major told his story and it echoed round the globe
   B                                     B7 Em
A flying saucer captured out in old New Mexico

🎸 Verse 4:
        Em                            Am
But the orders came from Washington, materials were changed
     B                                  Em
The town was hushed to silence and Mac Brazel was detained
       E                             Am
They scooped up all the evidence and flew it to Fort Worth
  B                            B     B7   E+  B   Em
Staged a couple photos and the headlines were reversed


🎸 Chorus:
         C                       G
There’s nothing to see here in Roswell
       C                    B     B7
Just a torn up old weather balloon
     Em
And Major Marcel
        F        C      B   B7  Em
Was mistaken as well about Roswell



🎸 Solo:
Em      Am      B       Em
E       Am      B   B7  E+  B   Em


🎸 Verse 5:
     Em                               Am
The years pass on in Roswell but the story still persists
 B                                 Em
Rumors turn to theories and then theories turn to myth
    E                           Am
But to his dying day the major swore on all he had
            B                B                  B7             Em
“There’s no way in h*ll the thing that fell was made by human hands”


🎸 Chorus:
       C                        G
So the mystery lives on out in Roswell
      C                B   B7
That creepy New Mexico town
     Em
And Major Marcel
       F           C        B    B7  Em
What couldn’t you tell us about Roswell
