[Intro]
[C]
[Verse]
[C]Little Sophia Strange in '73
Her daddy's yelling tirades at the TV
Hey man be [Am]cool[F][Ab][Bb]
[C]Sweeping the screen - rebel freak with a twist
A skinny genie come to grant her a wish
Changes the [Am]rules[F][Ab][Bb]
[C]He's a real pretty thing
[Chorus]
But now she [Am]looks to the stars
Oh with an [Em]ache in her heart
For now the [F]man who rocked the world
Is going [C]home[Bm]
She's reachin[Am]g up for a song
Oh but the [G]music is gone
For the [F]man who rocked the [Fm]world
Is going [C]home
[Verse]
[C]Big Johnny Butterfingers in '81
Searchin the discos for that special someone
It gets so [Am]tough[F][Ab][Bb]
[C]Feelin' the pressure under laser lights
But his feet go magic dancin' when the song is just right
Yeah that's th[Am]e stuf[F]f[Ab][Bb]
[C]Let's dance, Johnny
[Chorus]
But now he [Am]looks to the stars
Oh with an [Em]ache in his heart
For now the [F]man who rocked the world
Is going [C]home[Bm]
He's reachin[Am]g up for a song
Oh but the [G]music is gone
Because the [F]man who rocked the [Fm]world
Is going [C]home[Bm]
[Interlude]
[Am]Spaceman blasting a[G]way into the [F]big black sky to[C]night
[Am]Smiling, riding a [G]trail of stardust [F]home[Bb]
[Verse]
[C]Little Gangly Geeky strainin' through '95
Left on the outside flyin far from the hive
He don't fi[Am]t i[F]n[Ab][Bb]
[C]Heart got a lesson from a stranger deranged
Said it's ok man, it's cool to be strange
Make a new [Am]spin[F][Ab][Bb]
[C]Seems so far away
[Chorus]
But now I [Am]look to the stars
Oh with an [Em]ache in my heart
For now the [F]man who rocked the world
Is going [C]home[Bm]
I wanna [Am]hear one more song
Oh let the [G]music live on
Because the [F]man who rocked the [Fm]world
Is going [C]home
