LENNY - Buggles, the
Tuning: ½ down
B - A /
(Lenny!)
B - C#m7 /
(Lenny!) All the fools who await your return
B - A /
May we tell them the truth
B - C#m7 /
There's no way you can turn back the clock
E/G# – Cmaj7i /
Never cling to your youth
B - C#m7 /
(Lenny!) How unfortunate it must have been
B - Amaj7 /
Life is only a race
B - C#m7 /
(Lenny!) You're so old that it might take a crane
E/G# – Cmaj7i /
Just to lift back your face
B – G/Bi A6 -
Scientific, so scientific
E/B Cadd6 -
Scientific, so scientific
B Amaj7 /
But you were walking on glass
B - C#m7 /
(Lenny!) How unstable we bolt with the horse
B - Amaj7 /
Setting music to muscle
B - C#m7 /
And the fallers will litter the course
E/G# – Cmaj7i /
As we run to the castle
B – G/Bi A6 -
Scientific, so scientific
E/B Cadd6 -
Scientific, so scientific
B Amaj7 /
But you were walking on glass
Amaj7 A

(C6) - B C#m7 /
(He said the sun doesn't move)
When you say that the sun does not move
B – Amaj7 /
Did it show you the answer
B - C#m7 /
When the ships do not fall off the world
E/G# – Cmaj7i / B -
Does it mean there's a wall there
G/Bi - A6 - E/B – F#m
Break:

Care – ful
B C#m7 C#m7 -
He could be walking on glass
B – Amaj7 A
He could see that the earth was a mover
(But the sun was a mother)
B – C#m7
He could see that the earth was a mover
(But the sun was a mother)
B Amaj7 //
But he was walking on glass//
NB.
I think I hear a Aadd6 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.
