LENNY - Buggles, the
Tuning: ½ down
F# - E /
(Lenny!)
F# - G#m7 /
(Lenny!) All the fools who await your return
F# - E /
May we tell them the truth
F# - G#m7 /
There's no way you can turn back the clock
B/D# – Cmaj7i /
Never cling to your youth
F# - G#m7 /
(Lenny!) How unfortunate it must have been
F# - Emaj7 /
Life is only a race
F# - G#m7 /
(Lenny!) You're so old that it might take a crane
B/D# – Cmaj7i /
Just to lift back your face
F# – G/Bi E6 -
Scientific, so scientific
B/F# Cadd6 -
Scientific, so scientific
F# Emaj7 /
But you were walking on glass
F# - G#m7 /
(Lenny!) How unstable we bolt with the horse
F# - Emaj7 /
Setting music to muscle
F# - G#m7 /
And the fallers will litter the course
B/D# – Cmaj7i /
As we run to the castle
F# – G/Bi E6 -
Scientific, so scientific
B/F# Cadd6 -
Scientific, so scientific
F# Emaj7 /
But you were walking on glass
Emaj7 E
Care – ful
C#m7
You're walking on glass,
C#m G/Bi -
You're walking on glass
Emaj7 E
Care – ful
C#m G/Bi -
You're walking on glass
(C6) - F# G#m7 /
(He said the sun doesn't move)
When you say that the sun does not move
F# – Emaj7 /
Did it show you the answer
F# - G#m7 /
When the ships do not fall off the world
B/D# – Cmaj7i / F# -
Does it mean there's a wall there
G/Bi - E6 - B/F# – C#m
Break:
(Am) Am7i F# – Amaj7
Aahhaha – haa
(Am) Am7i F# – Amaj7
Aahhaha – haa
(Am) Am7i
Aahhaha – haa
F# Emaj7 /
(He said the sun doesn't move)
E E -
Care – ful
F# G#m7 G#m7 -
He could be walking on glass
F# – Emaj7 E
He could see that the earth was a mover
(But the sun was a mother)
F# – G#m7
He could see that the earth was a mover
(But the sun was a mother)
F# Emaj7 //
But he was walking on glass//
NB.
I think I hear a Eadd6 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.
