While you're playing this, experiment with seventh chords (all of these should be played
bar chords). I've tried to work this out from YouTube live recordings so it's not 100%.
INTRO:
[A]Yeah baby rock dust light star.
[A]And it's coming at you baby, coming at you baby!
VERSE:
[Em]I'm a man on the moon[D],[C]
Hope I don't come back too soo[Bm]n,[Am]
Am I the only one to [D]see a light?
[Am]No use in gettin' down [D]upon your knees tonight.
[Em]So daft in love[D],[C]
Cos' I got no fait[Bm]h,[Am]
I've seen those twisted lies[D] thrown back into my face,
[Am]I've heard the crazy doctrines[D] of the human race.
A --> Riff goes G/A A, G/A A A
Must be alone.
[Em]How could it be[D]?[C]
Your gift to me[Bm],[Am]
Send the rifle and[D] artillery (?)
[Am]There's nothing 'bout your war, [D]and you can call it what you like.
[Em]I know where I'[D]m [C]from,
And it's cold a[Bm]nd [Am]dark,
'Cos all the sinne[D]rs are just sage without a spark,
[Am]I'm having trouble telling them [D]apart.
Oh yea[A]h.
CHORUS:
Comin' at you [C]rock [Em]dust [D]light [A]star,
Coming at you baby,
Thirty six thousand miles away,
[C]Rock [Em]dust [D]light [A]star,
Comin' at you baby,
What you made of what you are!
VERSE:
Now look and see,
Those stars for you and me,
Waiting like silent candles in the night,
Atomic nations, you can never fight.
I've never felt,
I've never prayed,
I don't have to join in with the other slaves,
I'm not the only one who feels betrayed.
Oh yeah.
See the part of me invalid,
I'm going against the grain,
I won't be born again,
Salvation's coming from on high!
Coming at you baby, through the sky.
CHORUS:
Rock dust light star,
Coming at you baby,
Thirty six thousand miles an hour,
What you made of what you are.
VERSE:
I'm a square pig in a,
In a round hole,
Maybe there's no place left for my wounded soul,
Maybe the King of Kings finally lost control.
SOLO (IN A PENTATONIC)
CHORUS
INTRO-STYLE BIT
THEN PLAY CHORUS EXCITEDLY.
THEN THE INTRO IS THE OUTRO.
EXUENT WITH CHEERING CROWD.
