LENNY - Buggles, the
Tuning: ½ down
G - F /
(Lenny!)
G - Am7 /
(Lenny!) All the fools who await your return
G - F /
May we tell them the truth
G - Am7 /
There's no way you can turn back the clock
C/E – Cmaj7i /
Never cling to your youth
G - Am7 /
(Lenny!) How unfortunate it must have been
G - Fmaj7 /
Life is only a race
G - Am7 /

C/E – Cmaj7i /
Just to lift back your face
G – G/Bi F6 -
Scientific, so scientific
C/G Cadd6 -
Scientific, so scientific
G Fmaj7 /
But you were walking on glass
G - Am7 /
(Lenny!) How unstable we bolt with the horse
G - Fmaj7 /
Setting music to muscle
G - Am7 /
And the fallers will litter the course
C/E – Cmaj7i /
As we run to the castle
G – G/Bi F6 -
Scientific, so scientific
C/G Cadd6 -
Scientific, so scientific

Dm G/Bi -
You're walking on glass
(C6) - G Am7 /
(He said the sun doesn't move)
When you say that the sun does not move
G – Fmaj7 /
Did it show you the answer
G - Am7 /
When the ships do not fall off the world
C/E – Cmaj7i / G -
Does it mean there's a wall there
G/Bi - F6 - C/G – Dm

He could be walking on glass

G – Am7
He could see that the earth was a mover
(But the sun was a mother)
G Fmaj7 //
But he was walking on glass//
NB.
I think I hear a Fadd6 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.
