Intro: E, F#m, A, B, E, F#m, A (X2)


1st verse:
   E            A               E         A
It started at a bus stop in the middle of nowhere.
D                       E
Sitting beside me was a man with no hair.
         E                        A
From the look on his face to the size of his toes,
   D                              E
He comes from a place that nobody knows.


Chorus:
F#m7              A                 D
Maybe I'm hallucinating, hyperventilating.

Letting this big- toed bald man sitting here tell me about the sky.
F#m7               A                 D
Maybe I'm hallucinating, hyperventilating.

If you asked me now then I couldn't tell you why.
          E                F#m       A           B
I've been sitting here too long by a man from Milwaukee.
          E           F#m         A             B
He's been talking too long on his yellow walkie talkie.
          E          F#m       A            B
He's been talking to Mars, but I think he's wacky.
   E                 F#m           A               B
He says they'll come get him, come get him some day.


(E, F#m, A)


2nd verse:
He says that where he's from is called Albertane.
There they use more than 10% of the brain.
But you couldn't tell it from they way they behave,
They run around in underwear and they never shave.


(Chorus)


Bridge:
Bm
  This is Mother Bird calling Baby Bird.
     D    E        Bm
Baby Bird, come in.  Come in, Baby Bird.

For the love of Pete come in!
D E         Bm
    This is Baby Bird. Sorry, I was watching Court TV.
            D E      Bm
Do you copy?  Do you copy?
                            D  E           F#m
Of course we copy, 24 hours a day, in color.


(A, B, E, F#m, Am B)


3rd verse:
You wouldn't believe me if I told you the rest
The man sitting by me who was barely dressed
Flew off to Milwaukee or perhaps Albertane
And left me at the bus stop just barely sane


(Chorus)¨

   E                F#m          A
I know they'll come get me, come get me someday.
   E                F#m         A
I know they'll come get me and take me away.
   E                F#m          A
I know they'll come get me, come get me someday.
E      F#m            A            D E
If not tomorrow, then maybe today.
