LENNY - Buggles, the
Tuning: ½ down
E - D /
(Lenny!)
E - F#m7 /
(Lenny!) All the fools who await your return
E - D /
May we tell them the truth
E - F#m7 /
There's no way you can turn back the clock
A/C# – Cmaj7i /
Never cling to your youth
E - F#m7 /
(Lenny!) How unfortunate it must have been
E - Dmaj7 /
Life is only a race

Scientific, so scientific
A/E Cadd6 -
Scientific, so scientific
E Dmaj7 /
But you were walking on glass
E - F#m7 /
(Lenny!) How unstable we bolt with the horse
E - Dmaj7 /
Setting music to muscle
E - F#m7 /
And the fallers will litter the course
A/C# – Cmaj7i /
As we run to the castle
E – G/Bi D6 -
Scientific, so scientific
A/E Cadd6 -
Scientific, so scientific

(C6) - E F#m7 /
(He said the sun doesn't move)
When you say that the sun does not move
E – Dmaj7 /
Did it show you the answer
E - F#m7 /
When the ships do not fall off the world
A/C# – Cmaj7i / E -
Does it mean there's a wall there
G/Bi - D6 - A/E – Bm

Care – ful
E F#m7 F#m7 -
He could be walking on glass

E – F#m7
He could see that the earth was a mover
(But the sun was a mother)
E Dmaj7 //
But he was walking on glass//
NB.
I think I hear a Dadd6 chord but for playability, use C6 chord.
Since I play solo, I use a progression in chords during the song, from more open chords /
low fretting, to higher. In the song this does not happen that way: the higher notes are more accentuated
further into the song.
