VERSE 1: (hit each chord the appropriate number of times – getting this is easy when you
to the song-I’ve tried to do this on here)
BB F#F# EE
One day, when I came home at lunchtime
E F#
I heard a funny noise
BB F#F# EE
Went out to my backyard to find out
E F#
If it was one of those rowdy boys
BB F#F# EE
Stood there, with my neighbor called Peter
E F#
And a flux capacitor
PRECHORUS: (these are strummed with four quarter notes then two quick eighth notes at
end of the bar)
G#m F#
He told me he built a time machine
E
Like the one the film I’ve seen, yeah yeah
He said.....

I’ve been to the Year 3000
Not much has changed but they lived underwater
And your great, great, great granddaughter
Is pretty fine
VERSE 2 (same chords/strumming as verse 1):
Took me to the future in the flux thing
And I saw everything
Boy bands, and another one, and another one
And another one
Triple breasted women swam around town
Totally naked
PRECHORUS (same chords/strumming as the first):
We drove around in a time machine
Like the one in the film I’ve seen, yeah yeah
CHORUS
BRIDGE X2 (play these with the stuttered strumming, hitting the chords twice, and play
as THREE NOTE POWER CHORDS [i.e. 7-9-9-x-x-x]):
BB F#F#
I took a trip to the year three thousand
EE E F#
This song had gone multiplatinum
BB F#F#
Everybody bought our seventh album
EE E F#
It had outsold Michael Jackson
PRECHORUS (same as first two):
He told me he built a time machine
Like the one in the film I’ve seen, yeah yeah
CHORUS: This one is different, there’s just a synth and no electric guitar, acoustic,
etc.)
Synthesizer arrangement for guitar, to be played during chorus X4:
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------4----------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----4-----4---4---------3---------------4---------------4----------|
D|---4---4-----4-------4-----4---4-----4-----4---4-----4-----4---4----|
A|-2-----------------4---4-----4-----2---2-----2-----2---2-----2------|
E|-----------------2---------------0---------------0------------------|
FINAL 2 CHORUSES: Use rhythm section 1, but play the high part three times instead of
on the first of the two. This is done until the end of the song. In the final chourus,
only an electric guitar playing and all of the other instruments drop out.
End with:
e|--------7--7------------------------|
B|--------7--7----------11--11--------|
G|--------8--8----------11--11--------|
D|--------9--9--11--11--11--11--9--9--|
