F#
All of those wild American bilinguals
Esus2 B/F# F#
Who talk to you in Paris of their lonely lives
F#
School days and last days out there in the Midwest
Esus2 B/F# F#
They climb on their liners and rejoin their wives
[Bridge]
C#m
Walking down boulevards electric eyes
Dmaj7
Would gaze at the waveforms and gasp at their size
F# F# [break]
Let them be lonely and say you don't care
[Chorus]
Dmaj7 E/F#
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade
Dmaj7 E/F#
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade

[Verse]
F#
Una with long hair will stand by your side
Esus2 B/F# F#
And the friends who were hungry could swallow your pride
F#
Chromium pets that video screens would show
Esus2 B/F# F#
Pictures of helplessness old kings and queens
[Bridge]
C#m
Radio stations that fade as in dust
Dmaj7
All their transmitters are crumbling with rust
F# F# [break]
Let them be broken and say you don't care
[Chorus]
Dmaj7 E/F#
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade
Dmaj7 E/F#
Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade

Astroboy, I'm watching the proles on parade
