LENNY - Buggles, the
Tuning: ½ down
G# - F# /
(Lenny!)
G# - A#m7 /
(Lenny!) All the fools who await your return
G# - F# /
May we tell them the truth
G# - A#m7 /
There's no way you can turn back the clock
C#/F – Cmaj7i /
Never cling to your youth
G# - A#m7 /
(Lenny!) How unfortunate it must have been
G# - F#maj7 /
Life is only a race
G# - A#m7 /
(Lenny!) You're so old that it might take a crane
C#/F – Cmaj7i /
Just to lift back your face
G# – G/Bi F#6 -
Scientific, so scientific
C#/G# Cadd6 -
Scientific, so scientific
G# F#maj7 /
But you were walking on glass
G# - A#m7 /
(Lenny!) How unstable we bolt with the horse
G# - F#maj7 /
Setting music to muscle
G# - A#m7 /
And the fallers will litter the course
C#/F – Cmaj7i /
As we run to the castle
G# – G/Bi F#6 -
Scientific, so scientific
C#/G# Cadd6 -
Scientific, so scientific
G# F#maj7 /
But you were walking on glass
F#maj7 F#
Care – ful
D#m7
You're walking on glass,
D#m G/Bi -
You're walking on glass
F#maj7 F#
Care – ful
D#m G/Bi -
You're walking on glass
(C6) - G# A#m7 /
(He said the sun doesn't move)
When you say that the sun does not move
G# – F#maj7 /
Did it show you the answer
G# - A#m7 /
When the ships do not fall off the world
C#/F – Cmaj7i / G# -
Does it mean there's a wall there
G/Bi - F#6 - C#/G# – D#m
Break:
(Am) Am7i G# – Bmaj7
Aahhaha – haa
(Am) Am7i G# – Bmaj7
Aahhaha – haa
(Am) Am7i
Aahhaha – haa
G# F#maj7 /
(He said the sun doesn't move)
F# F# -
Care – ful
G# A#m7 A#m7 -
He could be walking on glass
G# – F#maj7 F#
He could see that the earth was a mover
(But the sun was a mother)
G# – A#m7
He could see that the earth was a mover
(But the sun was a mother)
G# F#maj7 //
But he was walking on glass//
NB.
I think I hear a F#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.
