Chords for the day the aliens came - the mountain goats

Hey, Mr.
Hughes and Mr.
Vander Slice, this is a new song I'm really excited about and _ and so
Since I wrote it on my old court guitar instead of the new one
I want to play it on that just for purposes of because I've been writing it and it's over
So that's why it sounds a little beat up and flat and everything because these strings are old and everything so sorry about that
It's in A.
I think I'm tuned to an A.
It should be called Hawaiian feeling but probably can't be called that
[A] Okay, right all right
I _ [D] _ _
[E] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
[E] _ _ [A] _ will wake [D] up at 6 [E] a [A].m.
Again, _ _ [D] _ _
_ [E] _ _ [A] and I will find my [D] way [E] to the front door like [A] a soldier crawling through the smoking [D]
carnage
[E] _ _ [D] _ Smoldering bodies at [A] my feet
_ I'd [D] love to stick around, [E] but I've got someone to meet [Em] and I will [A] put my best foot [D] forward
_ [E] And [A] I'll thank God I made it [D] out of there
[E] on [A] the day
_ _ _ [D]
when [E] my new friends [A] come
I _ [D] _
_ [E] _ _ [A] _ will present [D] myself in my [E] nice white [A] tuxedo jacket
_ _ [D] _
_ [E] _ [A] I will look [D] out of the day through my [E] dark [A] sunglasses and take in the [D] scene
_ [E] [D] The house behind me and the [A] people in it
Will all go [D] up like steam in [E] just a minute
_ [A] There's gonna be a redefining [D] of borders
_ [E] _ _ [A] And I will [D] receive my orders
[E] _ [A] on the day
when [D] _
my [E] new [A] friends come _ _ _
The _ _ [F#] _ _ [A] rooftops and the _ _ _ _ [F#] sidewalks
Will all [A] melt like plastic
_ [F#] And oh friends, [A] old friends, dear [D] friends
I'm gonna [Em] look [E] fantastic
_ There [A] won't be any reason [D] left to cry
_ [E] Cuz there [A] won't be any people left to [D] cry [Em] for
[E] [A] My memories gonna [D] vaporize itself
[E] And [A] my Italian shoes, well, they will [D] be to die for
[E] I [D] believe I [A] can fly
_ [D] Why don't you look up at [Em] me and [E] wave goodbye
on [A] the day
when [D] _
[E] my new [A] friends come
_ _ [D] _
_ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [E] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ You
[A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ [Em] _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [E] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [E] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
