[Guitar Figure 1]
Ebmaj7                             | Eb
  Brother won't you look at the sky

[Guitar Figure 1]
Ebmaj7                               | Eb
  There's something burning so bright

[Guitar Figure 1]
Ebmaj7                       | Eb
  And what it is I can't see

[Guitar Figure 1]
Ebmaj7                          | Eb
  But I think it's coming at me.

G   355433    Am  577555    Ebmaj7  x68786
C   x35553    D   x57775


| G                       C     | Am             D              | G
    Did you get here in a rocket     and did you journey through  space?

                      C          Am           D              G
Did your mother never scold you, oh, when she looked at your face?

                      C          Am             D           G
Do you know where you come from?    Because you look out of place

                C        Am                   D            G
In a town where only the rain comes down, you fell down to earth

        C              Am             D          Ebmaj7 [Guitar Figure 1]
Like an alien, like an alien, like an a - a - alien.
