{start_of_verse: Verse 1}
[G] Woke up this morning with [A7]light in my eyes
And [D7]then realized it was [G]still dark outside
[G] It was a light comin' [A7]down from the sky
I [D7]don't know who or [G]why
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_verse: Verse 2}
[G] Must be those strangers that [A7]come every night
Whose [D7]saucers shaped lights put [G]people up tight
[G] Leave blue green footprints that [A7]glow in the dark
I [D7]hope they get home all [G]right
{start_of_chorus: Chorus 1}
[D]Hey Mr. [C]Spaceman,
won't you [Am]please take me along,
I [G]won't do anything wrong
[D]Hey Mr. [C]Spaceman,
won't you [Am]please take me along for a [G]ride
{end_of_chorus}
{start_of_verse: Verse 3}
[G] Woke up this mornin', I was [A7]feeling quite weird
Had [D7]flies in my beard, my [G]toothpaste was smeared
[G] Over my window, they'd [A7]written my name
Said: [D7]"So long, we'll see you a[G]gain"
