LENNY - Buggles, the
Tuning: ½ down
C - A# /
(Lenny!)
C - Dm7 /
(Lenny!) All the fools who await your return
C - A# /
May we tell them the truth
C - Dm7 /
There's no way you can turn back the clock
F/A – Cmaj7i /
Never cling to your youth
C - Dm7 /
(Lenny!) How unfortunate it must have been
C - A#maj7 /
Life is only a race
C - Dm7 /
(Lenny!) You're so old that it might take a crane
F/A – Cmaj7i /
Just to lift back your face
C – G/Bi A#6 -
Scientific, so scientific
F/C Cadd6 -
Scientific, so scientific
C A#maj7 /
But you were walking on glass
C - Dm7 /
(Lenny!) How unstable we bolt with the horse
C - A#maj7 /
Setting music to muscle
C - Dm7 /
And the fallers will litter the course
F/A – Cmaj7i /
As we run to the castle
C – G/Bi A#6 -
Scientific, so scientific
F/C Cadd6 -
Scientific, so scientific
C A#maj7 /
But you were walking on glass
A#maj7 A#
Care – ful
Gm7
You're walking on glass,
Gm G/Bi -
You're walking on glass
A#maj7 A#
Care – ful
Gm G/Bi -
You're walking on glass
(C6) - C Dm7 /
(He said the sun doesn't move)
When you say that the sun does not move
C – A#maj7 /
Did it show you the answer
C - Dm7 /
When the ships do not fall off the world
F/A – Cmaj7i / C -
Does it mean there's a wall there
G/Bi - A#6 - F/C – Gm
Break:
(Am) Am7i C – D#maj7
Aahhaha – haa
(Am) Am7i C – D#maj7
Aahhaha – haa
(Am) Am7i
Aahhaha – haa
C A#maj7 /
(He said the sun doesn't move)
A# A# -
Care – ful
C Dm7 Dm7 -
He could be walking on glass
C – A#maj7 A#
He could see that the earth was a mover
(But the sun was a mother)
C – Dm7
He could see that the earth was a mover
(But the sun was a mother)
C A#maj7 //
But he was walking on glass//
NB.
I think I hear a A#add6 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.
