The Byrds


Tom: G

G                          A7
 Woke up this morning with light in my eyes
    D7                   G
and then realized it was still dark outside
G                      A7                   D7                 G
 It was a light coming down from the sky, I don't know who or why

[Verse 2]
G                             A7
 Must be those strangers that come every night
      D7                       G
Those saucer shaped lights put people up tight
G                                 A7
 Leave blue green footprints that glow in the dark
  D7                     G
I hope they get home all right

[Chorus]
D      C                   Am
Hey Mr Spaceman, won't you please take me along
  G
I won't do anything wrong
D      C                   Am              D7         G
Hey Mr Spaceman, won't you please take me along for a ride

[Verse 3]
G                           A7
Woke up this morning, I was feeling quite weird
    D7                    G
Had flies in my beard, my toothpaste was smeared
G                      A7
Over my window, they'd written my name
      D7                      G
Said "So long, we'll see you again"

[Chorus]
D      C                   Am
Hey Mr Spaceman, won't you please take me along
  G
I won't do anything wrong
D      C                   Am              D7         G
Hey Mr Spaceman, won't you please take me along for a ride

(Instrumental)

[Chorus]
D      C                   Am
Hey Mr Spaceman, won't you please take me along
  G
I won't do anything wrong
D      C                   Am              D7         G
Hey Mr Spaceman, won't you please take me along for a ride
