LENNY - Buggles, the
Tuning: ½ down
C# - B /
(Lenny!)
C# - D#m7 /
(Lenny!) All the fools who await your return
C# - B /
May we tell them the truth
C# - D#m7 /
There's no way you can turn back the clock
F#/A# – Cmaj7i /
Never cling to your youth
C# - D#m7 /
(Lenny!) How unfortunate it must have been
C# - Bmaj7 /
Life is only a race
C# - D#m7 /
(Lenny!) You're so old that it might take a crane
F#/A# – Cmaj7i /
Just to lift back your face
C# – G/Bi B6 -
Scientific, so scientific
F#/C# Cadd6 -
Scientific, so scientific
C# Bmaj7 /
But you were walking on glass
C# - D#m7 /
(Lenny!) How unstable we bolt with the horse
C# - Bmaj7 /
Setting music to muscle
C# - D#m7 /
And the fallers will litter the course
F#/A# – Cmaj7i /
As we run to the castle
C# – G/Bi B6 -
Scientific, so scientific
F#/C# Cadd6 -
Scientific, so scientific
C# Bmaj7 /
But you were walking on glass
Bmaj7 B
Care – ful
G#m7
You're walking on glass,
G#m G/Bi -
You're walking on glass
Bmaj7 B
Care – ful
G#m G/Bi -
You're walking on glass
(C6) - C# D#m7 /
(He said the sun doesn't move)
When you say that the sun does not move
C# – Bmaj7 /
Did it show you the answer
C# - D#m7 /
When the ships do not fall off the world
F#/A# – Cmaj7i / C# -
Does it mean there's a wall there
G/Bi - B6 - F#/C# – G#m
Break:
(Am) Am7i C# – Emaj7
Aahhaha – haa
(Am) Am7i C# – Emaj7

B B -
Care – ful
C# D#m7 D#m7 -
He could be walking on glass
C# – Bmaj7 B
He could see that the earth was a mover
(But the sun was a mother)
C# – D#m7
He could see that the earth was a mover
(But the sun was a mother)
C# Bmaj7 //
But he was walking on glass//
NB.
I think I hear a Badd6 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.
