[G]
Woke up this morning [A] with light in my eyes, [D] and then realized [G] it was still dark outside.
It was a [A] light coming down from the sky, [D] I don't know [Am]
[G] who or why.
Must be those [A] strangers that come every night, [D] those saucer-shaped [G] lights, put people up tight.
Blue, blue, green [A] footprints that glow in the dark, [D] I hope they get home [G] alright.
[D] Hey, [C] Mr.
[G] Spaceman, [Am] won't you please take me along?
[G] I won't do anything wrong.
[D] Hey, [C] Mr.
[G] Spaceman, [Am] won't you please take me along [G] for a ride?
Woke up this morning, [A] I was feeling quite weird, [D] had flies in my beard, [G] my toothpaste was smeared.
Over my [A] window, they'd written my name, [D] said, so long, we'll see [G] you again.
[C] [D] Hey, [C] Mr.
Spaceman, [Am] won't you please take me along?
